Comment:
This is the second BT023 for this bike. I got over 8000 miles from the predecessor. A confidence inspiring tyre, warms up quickly, even in the wet, and provides excellent braking performance. Responds well to spirited riding or relaxed motorway cruising with to tracking tendencies over white lines/road markings. May not have the outright grip of sportier tyres, but then this is a longer-lasting touring tyre with sporting pretensions rather than an outright sports tyre.
