scott hastings,  HI 600 bandit Good all around tire, I ride 130 miles / day. Great in rain and high speed, but don't know on tread life yet. I am not a knee dragger.

Tyler Durand,  MI Battlax BT-021 Rear Over 1000 miles in both wet & dry conditions, the tire performs very well. Center is just showing wear so the tread life should be spot-on for a dual compound tire.

Chris Doniphan,  MO Battlax BT021 This tire is a replacement for a BT014. I have only put about 300 miles on this tire, but I have noticed two things of note: Aggressive acceleration and cornering on this tire while cold will scare you... warm up the tire. It gets sticky, but it takes a little bit. The other thing is that it has a much stiffer sidewall compound than the 014, which gives you a very solid 'edge' feel at lower lean angles, and that takes some getting used to as well. If, like me, you have unconscious expectation of how the bike will 'feel' in the twisties then you are in for a change. It’s not a bad thing, especially for the roads I ride, but you do notice it. I bought the tire for tread life, which I knew meant giving up some grip, so no harm no foul. I will let you know at around 3000 m how the shape is holding up.

LK LEE EVERETT,  WA Shop Recomended I bought a 96' ZX-11 as a commuter/2-up bike aside from my 2007 Buell ZX12R. When I took the bike in for a major tune up I asked for a suggestion for tires. The BT-021 are what the Staters use here in Washington. With good result, these are great tires. 6300 mi. on Pirellis on my XB and a brand new set of Corsas waiting for install......What to do? What to do?

DAN SPAGNOLETTI PHOENIX,  AZ BT-021 WOW!!! Just over 10,000 miles and ordered my new set. These tires even beat the Pilot HPX for mileage. Was putting on new tires on the Busa every 3k miles (HPX got about 7) but these lasted longer and are better priced. Thank you Bridgestone!! Dan in Phoenix---Yes, it is 112 degrees here today :) BTW...There is not a shred of chicken strip on current tires ;)

Morris Windsor Mill,  MD Best Tire I've Owned and I had all Kinds I will not get another brand of tire Dunlop, Michelin Etc... This tire never let me down and lasted one full year that’s not bad for a gixer 1000. I use to put a new tire on the back in 2 months I'm on over a year and 13,000 miles later still have the tires. Just ordered a new set and hope they last but I'm not worried. They will !!!
