Great life and performance

Comments On Feb 23, 2013:I used these on a 2009 Suzuki GSX1400, previous tyres were 3 sets of Michelin Pilot Road 2 and one set of Dunlop RoadSmarts. Riding was commuting, some highway work, and a lot of hard mountain/canyon riding. I would regularly carve up much sportier bikes. Warm up time is good, no problem grinding footpegs in under 5 mins riding on a cool morning. These tyres gave me much more confidence and grip than the PR2s, and as a result I was getting that much lean that the footpegs were folded up and I was grinding the engine mounts down on the road. This is all with decent aggressive hanging off body-position. They lasted considerably longer than the Dunlops, and maybe 5% more than the Michelin. I got an average of 10,000km from a set (rear worn past wear indicators, would replace the front at the same time) front might have had another 2000km in them. I noticed no reduction in performance throughout their life. Wet weather was no issue either.

Great life, good performance.

Comments On May 05, 2012:I felt this tire was a good choice for a commuter sport bike. I got about 9000 miles out of it before I decided it was too low on center tread. Cornering traction is good for a touring tire, and handles the rain better than a Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa.

Huge step forward from the 021

Comments On Sep 09, 2011: The 021 front would cup badly by about 4500 miles and even as low as 3500 it was noticeable. These 023's with just over 6200 miles on it still has its nice round shape, not the "ledge" like the 021's would get. I am down to 1/32" from the wear bar, but very happy with these tires.

Great Tires!

Comments On Apr 21, 2011:I have these tires on my Ninja 650 and they worked great so now I am putting them on the ST1300 hopefully they will be just as good on the larger bike. I will post a a review after a few thousand miles.

BT-023 - Great sport/sport touring tire

Comments On Nov 04, 2010:This is my 4th set of tires on my 2008 FZ6. The last set I used were Dunlop Roadsmarts, which were great tires. I find the BT-023's to be even better! The tires grip wonderfully and are lighter than the Roadsmarts. They tip effortlessly into turns and the side grip is fantastic. Riding on the freeway is smooth and the tires absorb bumps very well. I've put a little over 600 miles on them so far, so I don't have an opinion about the mileage that the 023's provide. But for the quality and price, you can't go wrong with these tires.
