No I didn't, and I was in no way suggesting you should have been happy keeping them on, more responding to the comment why would anyone have them fitted to a sports bike. It does seem silly, but I felt I had a valid reason. If I'd kept the Daytona it was getting a set of M7RR's. I had the local bike shop source some for me, and by the time they got back to me I'd traded it

LOL I was trying to be funny! It wasn't a race, but he's my boss, incredibly competitive and a pretty quick rider on a very fast bike. There was no way he was going to lose me and no way he'd admit he was trying to! He was out dragging me out the corners leaving darkies and i was out braking him going into the corners, hence the knackered tyre. Never pushed a tyre that hard on the road before and they really aren't designed for it.
But what Blade alluded to was the profile not the grip and I'd agree. They've got a very rounded profile and even before I knackered them they felt horrible when tipping in.
