Hello all,
Time for new rubber. My BT010s were a very decisive feeling tire. but front end would step out on occassion. The BT014s I have now never felt quite as tight but my front end never stepped out nearly as much with them on.
Now I am starting to get knee down, and moving most of SV activity to track, but will still have the backroads and occasional wet. I slow way down in the wet with the 014s. That does not bother me. Maybe I should stick with them. They never felt "sharp". They were a little boring. Maybe that's good.
The bike: 2000 SV650 Full exhaust, jetted, geared. gixer shock, Scotts damper, Sonic springs, clip-ons. I love this bike. The liter bikes pass me in the straights but I get em in the tight stuff, that's where the fun is.
Not too worried about wear. Average initial $ would be good. Considering Sportec M1, Diablo, Z6. All brands considered. I don't know. Have been reading here and there. The decision is not getting made. I just don't know that much about tires.
Track / hard street experiences please.
Thanks,
JG
