Ralph D Littleton,  CO smooth ride, 1992 Kaw Concours Just put the tire on today with the dyna beads. I just got the front for now. I realized instantly that the ride was much smoother than the Dunlop that came with the bike when I bought it used. Excellent tire. I'll probably get the rear eventually.

John Cassidy Helena,  MT Battlax BT-45V Sport Touring So far so good! The tires (Battlax front and rear) provide excellent feel, turn in, and stick in the corners. They seem to ride smoother than the Metzler 880s I've always used. I haven't had them long enough or ridden in the rain to rate longevity or wet traction yet, my initial feeling is they are a delineate upgrade over the beloved Metzler for "enthusiastic" sport touring on my BMW!

Bill J Port Angeles,  WA great tire Replaced Met 880s on my C10 Concours with a pair of these. They set a little lower than the Mets so better ground control at stops. I feel much more comfortable with these in the twistys.

Ian Smith Doylestown,  PA BRIDGESTONE BT45 Battlax This is my second set of BT 45's and I love them. The grip better and wear better than the Metzlers I used on my BMW k100rs in the past. I've done two long sport touring trips, both including several passes on the Tail of the Dragon, and I had no trouble keeping up with many of the modern sport bikes. These tires inspire confidence, and even grip well in the wet. I got about 6000 miles out of the rear, and 8500 out of the front. They seem to wear better at 38 psi front and rear (on my 550lb bike). That’s more than the owner’s manual says to run in the front, but at lower pressure, the sides wore more than the center. I would definitely recommend these for sport touring.

Erdogan Arapahoe,  NC Tires for my fj1200 I purchased the Bridgestone Battlax BT-45V about a month ago from the Superstore, I am very happy with the price and the delivery. I installed the tire recently, fit and finish is perfect. Since I did not put on enough mileage on the tire I can not make a statement on its durability but I am sure I'll get satisfactory mileage.
