I have put over 14,000 miles on these tires. I just replaced the front and shopping for the rear. It has some life left but I know it'll need replacing some time this year. These are in my opinion the best tires I've ever purchased for my GSX-R 1000. I know they aren't OEM for my model year but....... I will ONLY install Bridgestone Battlax tires on my bike. Bridgestone, keep up the technology and good work and help bikers like me stay safer with reliable tires that handle their business.

Very steady on straighter and dry roads. Handles the load of the big bike 2 up and fully loaded. Smooth transition from entering to exiting all curves. Hangs in during hard acceleration out of tight curves. Detected a slight lateral motion when hitting standing water during rain. Unlikely to get 6Kmi on this 2nd 021. The first one was babied during bike break in. To be fair, the 1600's torque eats rear tires for lunch. Got these at a very good price and shipping was eye popping fast.

2nd 021 on this bike. Steady as a rock on the straight and dry. Feels a little light on standing water. Mileage is marginal, typical 3 flat rings after only 1800 miles. This one may not make 6Kmi before changing. First one did but I was breaking in the bike gently.

I have this tire on my cbr954 and its an awesome tire for day to day riding. And I am well above 6k mile on the tire and plenty of tread wear to go. Recommend these to many and will buy this tire again and again.
Very good tire at a fair price

It lasted well until a stone punctured the tread. It was an unusual puncture and I dont think it was a weakness in the tire itself.

I installed a BT-021 on the rear. I purchased this BT-021 for its advertised dual-compound tread and projected longer life. So far I have almost 4k miles on this rear tire, and it is wearing just fine. But I've noticed during high cross winds, the rear tire wants to slide sideways out from under me!?! I've noticed this several times on the freeway, so I just slow down and take the side roads instead. I'm running the specified 36 psi front & rear. So buyer beware!

Stable in the rain and cold, great in hot weather. Wear is to be expected to low since the Connie 14 is a 700 pound sport bike I'm expecting 4K to 5K miles with a mix of sport and touring.

Great overall tire. Cornering is great as long as you don't lean it all the way, gets kinda unstable when you get close to using all the tire. Never had an issue in the rain, feels planted to the ground. Got about 7k out of it still have a tad bit left but doesn't feel safe. Great tire for price is my overall thought.
