i liked the 21's on my mt-03, so i would buy them, only thing is the price is a bit high

023's are cheaper than Pilot Road 2's but after my set 021's and the front wearing excessivly (sp) and Bridgestone's quite frankly p!ss poor customer service i got, i wont touch their tyres again and would be more than happy to pay the extra for a set of Pilot Road 2's

I have road attacks, they feel better than my 021's did.

I have BT020's on mine at the mo, being replaced this week though.

Having nothing else to compare to, what is the general consesus on 020's? Crap? Good? Mixed?

EDIT: Replaving with Avon Storm 2 Ultra's

I love my bike since I put the Conti Road Attack on the front, what an improvement. 306 miles of pleasure again today.

The road attack is nice like, very soft. Lot's grip, good in the wet.

I got 023,s on mine. ONly done 300 mile on them but they are very good tires. Very grippy and look pretty good too. I can now chuck it round corners better than I could with the dunlops.

130 quid fitted for the pair.

And I agree about the 021's being naf. I had a pair on my fazer and the front end always felt like it was going to go from under me when cornering. Although that was exaggerated by the **** front end on the fazer.

But so far the 023's have felt solid in every respect.

I've got a BT021 rear that's close to 10,000 miles now and going strong (about 2-3mm tread left in the centre). Never had any handling complaints from them - they grip well from cold and in the wet and give enough feedback for road riding. Never understood where all the BT021 hate comes from.
