I wear Bridgestone battlax BT023 on my triumph trophy, I ride it hard and get good mileage and good grip no matter the weather, iv never had reason to not trust them and touch wood it'll stay that way.
I wore Michelin pilots in the past and they never felt right.
As Larry said tyres are very personal things, ask a 100 riders their opinion on a single tyre and you will get a 101 different opinions on it.
