A cracking tyre :D

Gave excellent grip in the wet and after 500 miles there didn't seem to be any wear on mine (only changed it because I had pilot sports put on)

I'd give them 9/10 for a winter tyre :D

A good touring tyre. But I used BT-014's for my commute. but mainly as I was only doing 3-4K a year. if I was doing more I may have used the 21's.


depends on miles you do a year, what type of riding you do, fair weather rider etc.....


So more info can help if the BT-021 is what you "may" need :D

I've just thought Neil, rather than pay out for tyres you haven't tried before, I've got my part worn if you want it?

I was only going to stick it on the spare wheel anyway?

PM me with a price if you're interested :D

main reason I went for the BT-014's. there where recommended to me by a good friend and I found them to be good in wet or dry. not a long life but grip when needed,

saying that I have only tyred the BT-57 and changed them for the BT-014's.  but most people will recommend various types of tyres all depending on what they have used

i have them on my zx7r and find them abit crap in the wet to be honest, id give them a 7/10 only because they seem to last forever.

Hi mate, I had the  BT 014's last year and decided to get Bt 021's to replace them.
Good in the dry, fine in the wet, got a lot of feedback from the front, don't last terribly long.

Not saying they're the best (I haven't tried all the other tyres  ;) ) but they're certainly good enough.
I did have a mate who had the BT 014's and then got some Diablo's and he said the Diablo's were fantastic. You might want to check those out as well.

Good luck  :D

Still got a good 6mm of tread left :D

The rear wasn't knackered but the front was and I got a good deal on two sets of pilot sports :D

Neil, if you are not interested would it be all right to enquire about a price?  I might be looking for this tyre :)

I agree with bikerchick.  :D
