I've got the OEM ones at the mo (no triple compound on the rear) and only single compound on the front.

I hated BT 014s (in fact I swore I'd never get Bridgestones again) but these came fitted to the bike and I really like them. They seem really stable and composed, warm up well, and provide good amounts of grip in the wet.

I'd recommend them. :D

unless you can find old stock you wont be having any more 014s as they stopped making them so im told. i used them for my last three tires and just gone to a 016 on the front as i couldnt get an 014.

i was knee down on the first outing on the font 016. the gsxr has them too and i quite like them, havnt haad any nastyness yet. :D

Summation - sticky as all get out but don't go planning on touring or commuting with them as you will flat spot them very quickly.
