Ok! I got my POWER PURES mounted today and took her for a ride to Lake Hemet which is up Idyllwild Mountain and let me just say that these tires are frickin' AWESOME!!!!! They are super sticky in the twisties and feel incredible. I never once had any type of issue with them. I seriously LOVE these tires!!!!!! Not to mention that they look really good on the Hawk too

If you do decide on the Michelins' next, it will be interesting to see if your perceptions parallel mine.

I hope you're happy with the Q2's. but if you read the Power Pure thread cited earlier you'll discover that I paid 259 delivered from the same vendor for the pures and consider this a bargain for the best tires I've ever had on any sportbike. I had Q2's immediately previous to these, and they stuck well in the twisties and yielded about 4500miles before threads, but the Power Pures are a whole different dimension relative to riding and feel. 14.8lbs(Q2 rear) vs 12.5(180x55 Power Pure rear according to bathroom scale) is likely responsible for much improvement, but soft and smooth where rubber meets the road(note:@ 30psi cold) improves suspension quality and the way the front and rear cooperate at lean is nothing short of amazing.
