Excellent tires
I ride 30 miles round trip everyday (mon-fri) to work and I beat on these tires. Been riding for 5 years...I've got them on my gsxr 1000 and got 11,200 miles out of the first set. They heat up nicely and handle magnificant in the corners. If you want a tire that has excellent grip, and insane tread life, look no further than the 021's.

bt021 front tire
Put on the bt021 front about a month ago, seems to ride a bit smoother than the Dunlop d208 sportmax that was on before. I’m a beginner, so take it for what it's worth... I’m just learning to lean and corner the bike and feel no difference between the Dunlop and the bt021 (which is suppose to be a sport/touring tire). Right now the front and back are mix matched, still have tread and the rear Dunlop... I know bad idea, but I’m a beginner and I’m not leaning or going as fast as the more experienced riders. I intend to replace the rear with the matching bt021.

Bridgestone - Battlax BT-021 Front Tire
Started experiencing cupping almost immediately. However have now inflated the tire to sidewall max instead of the motorcycle manual's recommended pressure to see if that helps.

Bad tire
Worst front tire I ever owned, very noisy and terrible tread life. I only got 6k, where I normally get 10-12k

BT-021 front vs D-205 front.
I've tried several different front tires & none have compared well with the D-205 front, until now. I ride an ST1100 & love the corners. Expect a tire that sticks on any road surface, wet or dry. Until mounting the BT-021, I hadn't found a tire that was as confident & responsive as the D-205. The BT-021 is every bit as confident & responsive, & it gives a much smoother ride. It seems to do well on wet roads, but I haven't had time to fully test it yet. I'm used to getting 9-12K from a front tire, so only time & miles will tell how well it holds up. I'm very impressed so far.
