Great tire
So far the tire is great on my fz6. Have had it on for about 1000 miles and no signs of wear. Traction is great. It is paired with a bt023. I'll post again in a couple thousand miles.

Quiet on turns was a nice surprise. Good tread life so far (only have 5k on tire). So good so far.

BT023 - So far, Real Good
Purchased both BT023's front/rear to replace my stock set on my 650 Ninja. The stock BT020s gave me 17k miles with mildly spirited riding in the Pacific Northwest. I'm expecting more from these 23's with the multi-compound tread.
Dry performance is excellent, great grip with added agility. Wet performance is good.
Only 200 miles so far on these, but i'm not seeing any odd wear patterns.
MCSS provided the FASTEST delivery too; ordered both online at 6PM PST and got both next day!! PROPS MCSS.

Better than a PR2
Tread life is the same as the Michelin PR2, but the BT023 stays the same shape throughout its life, rounded profile. The Michelins would be cupped and a bit of a ledge feel between the compounds and I would ride it like that for about 1000 miles before the rear was done it too. These are a huge improvement of the BT021 !

Scott (st. paul, MN)
BT-023
Great tires! I have 6,500 miles on both of these. Only a slight cup on both front and rear without any difficulties in riding. Still smooth and balanced.
Nearly half of these miles were two up riding with heavy gear on my Honda ST1300 over the Rocky Mountains.
These are excellent tires.

Good Tire, Good Value
I've only put a couple thousand miles on this tire so far, but it has good grip and stability on the highway. Haven't done any twisties yet. Just lots of commuting. But so far I'd buy it again. It's definitely a good value for the price.

Very impressed so far. . .
Replaced 020's on '07 FJR with the 023's right before a 3,000 mile road trip to Deal's Gap, Indy and back home. Very confident in the corners, solid tracking dry, limited exposure to rain thus far and with 3k on the tires they look like they will easily outdistance the 020's. Very impressed thus far. . .

Good & Durable
Replaced the old 021's on my Blackbird with this later model. Great grip wet and Dry, although very hard acceleration on a cool tire can result in spin, something the 021's did not do. Had them on now for 2000 miles and look like new.

May go back to the 020's
Got a set of 023's and headed west for a full week of Colorado Mtn roads... Great feeling tires... now about 4500 miles into the set, my front looks new and my rear tire is SIGNIFICANTLY cupping on both sides about 3 inches off the center-line. I do ride to the edge and noticed feathering on the tread pattern near the edge. It appears that casual cornering is just eating this tire.
