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 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.
