It does make you marvel at how good road tyres are these days.  Relatively long life, great grip in all conditions, and on more powerful and heavy bikes.  I remember the first time I actually used a tyre that gripped in most conditions and lasted more than 5000kms.  A sticky tyre probably no better than the tyres I am on now only lasted 2000kms.  I do miss the prices though  :p

I think a little more testing at Phillip Island would be in order after this years Motogp.
