Michelin Pilot or Hi-Sport???

[OB_RPM]

Well I just visted the Michelin website: (www.michelin.com/us/eng/tire/moto/p1.htm). I see the Hi-sport underneath the Pilot, is this the tire everyone is talking about?? It is listed as available in a 200/50/ZR17. I thought that it was a Pilot that everyone was raving about, now I'm just a bit confused. Can anyone unconfuse me about this??

It's the pilot that everyone is talking about. The pilot comes in 3 compounds: Pilot Sport, Pilot Race and Pilot race soft. The Pilot Sport compound I believe is what Kawabuser is running. Personally I am going to try the pilot race just to see how they feel and what kind of mileage they will deliver.

The Michelin web-site is lagging behind quite a bit as in still not showing the Pilot Sports.
The Hi-sports are really the old predecessor and anyone who's seen the Pilot Sports' profile will recognize this easily.

Thanks to both of you for your responses.
