Taken from Bridgestone Tyre Talk, p141 of June 06 TWO magazine.
SUZUKI SV650 Bridgestone BT-014s work exceptionally well on this model, providing a good balance of fast road riding with decent tyre life. The combination of light weight and relatively low power enable the tyres to work well without too much stress. Bridgestone's BT-020s are also approved for those riders who commute or just want to go touring and want to get even better milage, yet still offer more than enough grip for everyday road riding. Always fit standard sizes-there are no oversize options available. Sizes: 120/60-17 Front (36psi) and 160/60-17 Rear (36psi) www.bridgestone-eu.com It would be good if all manufacturers did this and suggested 1 or 2 tyres for each popular make of bike, imho. So who has these on thier Sv then? And would you agree or disagree with the Bridgestone point of view.

I've tried both and would agree, though I personally dislike the wear characteristics of both and thought the BT014s were slow to warm up for supposedly sporty tyres.
My criticisms are mainly based on personal preferences, though. |

I've got BT014's on my curvy, They transformed the handling, but thats because I got them to replace the original MEZ3's which were shocking.
To be fair if my dads GSXR1000 has them, I think they are more than adequate for an SV. I think they are great, they have coped with a track day, but not sure the rear will last very long, but then again i do thrash it about everywhere. I agree that sometime they take a while to warm up, but only when used for short commutes to work. I will probably try something different next time just to see what other makes are like. Might go for the Avon Viper Sports next. |

Spidey,
Try the Metz Z6, A much better tyre that the 020 IMHO and they do get good reviews. I had them on my SV after the 020 and found them to be far more stable, would warm up qui9ck and generally insipred a little more confidence in both the wet and the dry. |
