All good points Tom, I'm the same with sportsbikes, I swear by Bridgestones. I've got BT014s on my Busa at the minute (have had 010s and BT56s) and had just renewed the BT015s on my HRC 07 Blade before I sold it last month. Although strangely I had a bad front which had to be replaced, it caused the front end to almost tankslap off the throttle at 50mph.

After reading all the tyre talk on here and other sites I'm going to go with Avon Distanzias for my XT660R. Although I like Bridgestones, for the XT I think they would be a bit expensive and I'm not keen on the tread patterns.

Cheers

Logan
