Went through heavy down pours today and these tires are awesome! Feel very positive. No slip. No slide. Braking confident. Leaning in turns felt just as sure as dry conditions. Very planted. These tires are great! Good choice over stock Dunlops. Got about 2500 miles on them so far.

I don't have a FJ-09 (yet) but I have Pilot 4's on my FZ6 and they have been great. Always feel stable and planted. I have close to 15,000 miles on them right now and shouldn't have any problems finishing out this riding season before they need replaced.

Yeah, I'm sold on the RP 4's. The only thing I noticed is when new they were noisier than the stock Dunlops. But after about 600 miles that quieted down.

I got wheelie hops on a wet road today with a PR4 on the back. Good braking too. That gives me more confidence when riding in the wet.
 
I am still cautious with the painted lines in the crosswalk.
