Yep... Mind you BT014's are known for being soft... but it still pretty sh*te its what came on the bike, its one of the reasons I replaced them for something else, plus the fact I didnt get on with them.

They're supersport rubber though, of course they're soft.

It does make me laugh that so many power ranger types fit the latest and stickiest, then go nowhere near their potential. Some not even using them enough to get them hot enough to use properly!

Why do you think I put Z6's on my GSXR for the GM last year

Exactly. Unless you're balls out all the time then an ST tyre at it's operating temperature will work better than a supersports tyre well below its designed temperature.
