Hi guy's
Had a chat with Michelin Tyre plc to day and this is what I was told. BMW R1150R with Michelin Pilot Road tires would need to run with these pressures.
Font 32psi
rear 36psi
These pressures are for solo and fully loaded .
So who do you believe BMW or the people who make the tires Michelin?????

Those pressures seem a little low to me. Not too far off. I usually take both the tire manufacturer's numbers and BMW's recommended PSI and experiment somewhere in between on my own to find what feels right to me. I've always tried to get my tire pressure adjusted so that the PSI only raises about 3-4 pounds from a cold tire to a fully warm tire. YMMV

Mine 'are' also Pilot Roads...the new Michelin Pilot Road 2's...and no..I don't think there should be any difference re the tire pressure.
