Great Tire
So far I have really liked this tire. This tire came on my bike when I got it with 1,900miles. Had to replace the tire at 5,200miles - BALD - never burned out, just wears quick because of compound. When it was about gone, i went on a long 420 trip with a group and the tire does great in the corners and high speeds. I will keep using this same tire.

Good Tire
This is an excellent tire. It is my second one Compared it to others but decided to stick with it because the first one worked out fine for me.

Good value for money
I replaced the rear tire on my '06 ZX-14 with another BT-014 primarily because I still have a Bridgestone on the front but also because I got 5,300 trouble free miles from the previous BT-014. I've had no complaints with this tire based on fairly average riding, mostly in dry weather. I've ridden in the occasional heavy downpour and was still impressed with the road holding and grip under braking. Heavy cornering is not a ZX-14 strength but I haven't had any issues with grip during the occasional more spirited ride. Definitely a solid performer.

This will be my 4th BT-014 Rear Tire and as long as they keep making them I'll keep buying them. I have a ZX-14 and I ride it like a 600 and the tire is just GREAT!! People are just at awe that I hang on the back roads. The Tires inspire nothing but confidence. Maybe it's because the 14 is heavy I don't know but the tire sticks like glue from edge to edge. If you have a Big Bike this could be the last tire you ever buy. They wear a little quick but for the money they’re hard to beat.

014 tires
Great tire once you let them warm up. I've been using them after trying the Pilot Sports - These seem to have more consistent grip.

So So
Got them on my 2006 Suzuki 750 GSXR and came with the bike. I Just took my bike out for some spring riding and I’ve notice that when the tire is cold they don't grip very well but as they tend to heat up they get a little better. For the most part they are decent but will not buy them again.

great tire for the money
Had these OEM on my K7 GSXR. Rode them hard, and really liked them. Great grip with good feel and feedback. Didn't last as long as I'd hoped (about 3000 miles), but then again I ride aggressively. Would I buy them again? Definitely yes for aggressive street. Never had them on the track so can't say.

OK
I have these on my new GSXR1K. I'm still on them @ about 4500 miles but they will not pass inspection. They didn't last very long considering about 1500 miles of the 4500 were the break-in period. No burnouts or anything but the tire likes to get loose in the cold. Late Fall/Early Spring you can count on them spinning anytime you try to wheelie. During the summer months when the road and tire were warm the tire performed very well but I think my next tire might be the Pilot Power.

Perfect So Far
On my second set ... rode them from San Antonio to Laguna Seca. They performed flawlessly from 40 - 123 degrees on the same trip. Going through the mountains in Colorado, then in California, they gave me great feedback and much more confidence than the OEM BT020. I will keep buying them until I find something better for the price. But so far, these are the best tires for my bike for the money.

Mediocre
I am not too aggressive when I ride but even how I ride, these tires were pretty slippery. I would agree it does much better after a bit of a warm up but I was never too confident in the tires going into a turn. They only lasted me about 3000 miles too. I have heard that V Twins eat up tires but my last ones lasted about 6000 miles. I am not too sure what to think but so far I am not impressed.

Great
I am currently on my second set of these. I was very impressed with the grip of the first set...Put them on in Oct and ran them through Dec, into the spring. They stick great in the cold. I didn't find any slip under normal conditions. Will spin up a bit if you gas hard on cold tire. I did a little over 8000 miles. A little soft for highway runs, my last trip eat them up. Good overall tire.

All Right Tire
I own this tire and I am pleased with it. It does need some warming up in order to really take a turn hard, so if you like to go full throttle out of a turn and don't mind the back tire slip feel then get something else. These once warm won't slip, otherwise a decent tire. I have 8,000 miles on the tires and still plenty of tire. ;-)
