Michelin Pilot Road2 tire availability

[bakwheeltango]

I just spoke with the USA Michelin motorcycle consumer relations department. I was trying to locate a pair of Michelin Pilot Road2 here in Canada. I was even willing to drive across the border to get a pair.

The tires will not actually be available until the end of this year, even though they are being displayed on their website.

bak.

Clicky Pilot Road2

I just talked to the parts guy at R.M.S (one of the largest dealers in vancouver) and he laughed and said the only guys buying continentals are guys on old harleys or guys in Britain. :???:
i'm ignoring this comment.

2 of his suppliers stopped caring them due to lack of sales.
