Yes I have them on my 2000 S model, and in my opinion they are excellent tyres. PM me if you want specifics.

I am happy with the BT14's. They were most excellent for summer riding.

But IMHO they are f***ing slippery when cold and not good winter all rounders. I lowsided on them :shock: and have gone back to an 020 for the rest of the chilly months.

Anyone had the same experience?

I've had mine since before christmas and they're fine. I have had the odd wheelspin/sliding around back experience before they warm up, but no problems once they're warmed up. They've been ok in rain/sleet/frost but they do need to be warmed up.

I had no such problems. Just confidence inspiring 100% of the time. Now the rear has worn down (will need replacing very soon) the bike can be a bit slappy, but its not a problem for me.
