Excellent general use tire
This is my first time not running a "street slick" like a SuperCorsa SP or similar (on superbikes) and I have been VERY impressed with these tires on a V2 Ducati Monster 900S. Good dry grip and excellent wet traction. They may not be sufficient for high HP bikes or very fast street riding but they work perfectly for aggressive cornering on a low HP bike like the Monster in the wet or dry.

Great tire
This tire came on my 2024 mt07. Put 9,987 miles on it to date. Im in utah so have only about 5 months or riding time. Still could put another couple hundred miles on it im sure. But summer just hit and slapped on a new one. Can't beat it. I ride pretty hard, canyon mountain riding only. Didn't let me down. 1/2 chicken strips, they let ya lay in over and hold.

Practical traction characteristics
If you haven't seen FortNine's YouTube video "3 Motorcycle Tires to Transform Handling - Best of 2022", you should go watch it. The things he says about the Road 6 are true of this tire as well. It has far better traction at lower temperatures than most tires, with the trade off being that it never achieves as good traction as a more temperature dependent rubber. I absolutely never find the traction to be insufficient. I feel like my grip is better than I need it to be in my first turn out of my neighborhood, as well as for the whole rest of my commute. It's also fantastic in the rain! The Dunlop I used to have would be slippery in that first turn out of my neighborhood, and it would still be slippery when I take the on-ramp to the 101, 3 mi away from my apartment. With the Road 5, I never feel the need to concern myself with how warm my tire is, and I can bump-start my bike. With the previous Dunlop installed, I would just skid the rear tire when I tried to bump-start the bike.

Favorite MC tire.
3rd time using this same model of tire on my R1200RT. Very satisfied with the tire and the seller.

They stick!
Great tires all the way around! Any riding style or any weather conditions they work great. Could not ask for much more other than price. But if you ride motorcycles you already know tires are not cheap

Better than expected
I normally run perellie (prob misspelled)deablo tires for the tackyness on the road for cornering. But these have held up longer and have not once slipped on any solid roads or in any weather conditions. It's been more of my daily run around since installing, nor ride time but no long trips yet. I will be getting them again!!

Great practical “sport” tire.
I commute on my bike often and ride canyon roads aggressively every weekend. This tire is good for both but not perfect for either with a slight emphasis on performance. You can definitely feel the difference between this and the supercorsa or the power gp but those tires don’t handle wet conditions and they definitely don’t get 8-10k miles. Overall it’s the only compromise I’ve been happy with having tried 4-5 different tires over the years. It lets me do what I want to do safely while being reasonably economical and time efficient (not swapping tires frequently). If you don’t ride in wet conditions at all and don’t mind changing tires every 2-4k miles buy something more aggressive. If you never ride track or canyons buy a touring tire. If you’re in between like me, buy this!

Nothing to dislike. My new bike came with track tires( cuz im cool like that ) and didn’t last very long on the street. Every OG biker I’ve spoken to recommended these tires and they actually feel very nice in the corners
