As I don't see the point in wasting good sticky tyres on my daily commute my Busa stays wrapped in sport touring type tyres.
I did have Sportmax Roadsmarts on but when they wore out I replaced them with Michelin Pilot Road 2. Couldn't really fault the Roadsmarts though, they do everything they should when used in the manner intended for them. Wet weather grip was great, always felt secure and they never gave me any heart starters, just the opposite. In the wet they often surprised me with the grip they offered just when I thought things might get sketchy.
Got 12000km out of them.
I only switched back to the PR2's as I have used them for years, so I guess I prefer them just because I have spent so long on them and know them very well.
On reflection I think the PR2 are a little better in the dry but think the Roadsmarts have a slight edge in the wet.
If the Roadsmarts were the only thing available to me, I would be quite happy to use them again.
EDIT: I should add that at 12000km of motorway commuting, that rear was squarer than Poindexter
