I used the old Michelin Pilot Race on my GS500 racebike - they had a ton of grip, handling was neutral, and they lasted a long time on that slow bike.

I just switched to a 600, and I've tried Bridgestone 002s and Dunlop 208GP-As. So far I like the Dunlops a little better, I just get a little better feel from them, but that's subjective. I haven't tried the new Pilot Power Race tires, I hear they're really good.

One thing that helped drive me to Dunlop was price. A set of 120/180 GP-As are $40-80 cheaper than a set of Michelins, depending on who your trackside supplier is and what compound Micheline you want. I'm not one of the 'fast guys', and if I can save that much $$ a set, and still get good feel/grip/life out of the tires, I'm going that route.
