So far, so good!
So far so good. After break in these are working out nicely. I ride a TL1000R, a heavy and torquey bike and these have held up fairly well so far.

Great tire!
This tire is great on my fz6. Gave it a 3 for tread life as I have only put on about 1000 miles since install. It is paired with a bt023 on front as well and grip/handling is great; very confidence inspiring.

Great Tire
I have a V-Strom 650 and have always got good miles from the Battlewings. I ride mostly highway and wanted to try a street tire. 7000 miles on the rear and at least 4000 to go, with the BT o23. Ride two up about a third of the time. 40lbs. of air and it's a great feeling tire. Have another one waiting to go on. Now there is a 19" front and will be putting that on too. Superb for the street and not too bad on my dirt road. alot of sugar sand.

Batttlax
These tires is on my 2011 Concours with 6800 miles and I already need a front tire. I`ll probably get another 1000 on the rear tire. Wet and dry traction is really good but i`m going to try another brand because of the wear.

Great all around
Just replaced some Avons with the Battlax series tires. Had some handlebar "wobbles" at low speed with the Avons on my ST1100 and read the Bridgestones would eliminate it. They sure did and also provide a great ride. Not sure about longevity yet but seem to be a great all around tire.

More like a Street Sport Tire
I ride a CBR929RR very aggressively, no "chicken strips" on my tires. This tire inspires confidence and transitions into corners very predicatively and smooth. I was using 2CT's until I discovered these and I'm very happy about not replacing them every month like I was with the 2CT's at a better price. These tires are a Sportbiker’s best kept secret. So just keep categorizing them as Sport Touring tires so the secret won't get out.

BT 023 tires
I got 10k from these tires on a BMW 1200rt. Also got almost 9k on a Ducati Multistrada 1200! I’m sold.

Sport touring tire with superbike performance
I finally got rid of my Dunlops for BT-023 rear/BT-016pro front. Could not be happier! The bike has not twitched a bit with no signs of wear after 800 miles. Oh yeah, these tires are on a Ducati 996. Sport touring is an underrated label. I push these tires hard and they take everything I throw at them. Bridgestone is the tire of the future!

Like The B023 Sport. A Lot.
Was running 021's on my first gen. FZ1.
The 023's are incredible. I found myself leaning waaaay over with no other changes. The mileage on the rear is a bit better than with the 021's but still not as good as I'd like. For some reason, I go through rear tires fast. If I got 5k out of one, I'd be shocked. All in all though, great tire for this bike. I'll be sticking with them til something better comes along.

Great tire
I run BT-023's on my Kawasaki Versys. Depending on how I ride, I get 8000-10000 miles from a rear, and replace the front every other. I ride mostly straight line commutes during the week, 200-500 mile "twisties" most weekends. Probably won't bother trying another tire unless Bridgestone comes up with a version II of this one.
