Had z6's before - loved them but thought they were not exactly lasting enough.

Noticed a bit of a difference at first but dry / wet are pretty fine so far and should see a bit more mileage out of them than the 6's

be interesting to see, had 14,000 out of a rear Z6, what are you expecting out of these then ?

not one of my fav brands I must admit, to uncommunicative for me, got 020's on the T'bird (wish they were something else :( ), but there fairly new so will have to use them up first.

Cheers Mark.

I got BT021's fitted this weekend, the place I got them from had no Road Pilot 2's in at the time.

At first I was a little unsure as I was not getting as much feel from them, however I am still scrubbing them in, today I was gettig much more feedback on the road, so once they get fully scrubbed in they shouldbe ok.

I need to do more miles before I can give my thoughts on them over time, but so far there turning out ok.

Cheers

Well i did a 40 mile stint in the wet with them and much better than the z6's due to more tread being in the middle of the tyre instead of a blank area like the 6's. - round the bends aren't too hot just now but that part of the tyre has not had enough scrubbing in and i think the wheels are mis-aligned anyway.

I have the 021's on my Sprint and so far (about 1000 miles) I'm very happy with them, they inspire more confidence than the 020 and I wasn't unhappy with them. I don't suppose I will achieve a large mileage out of them with the bike being somewhat heavier than the old SV (yellow and curvy!)
