Might be a good competitor for the Q2's! I like the bt16s but once I tried the Q2s, I couldn't go back to the stones....

... For now ...

Dunlops might not be the best, but they are damn good and the price point has been the selling point!!! They are awesome !!!!

$239 for a set shipped... are you kidding, I don't see how anyone's gonna do better price wise.

No friggin' way I am ever running another Battlax piece of shit on on one of my bikes again. Bridgestone has been in bed with Honda since at least 1993 and I have ripped them off each of my bikes that they have been on.

No thank you!

I'm running the new BT03 R/S Race/street tires on my SF.
They get warm quick and stick like glue but the profile is too round and makes the transition slow.

I've only ridden the bike on the track since I installed the new tires so I don't know how they feel on the street.

I just got a flyer from my local parts store and they have BT016's for $200 a set with a 180 rear and $210 with a 190-50 rear
Pretty hard to beat that price and they have them in stock. (but the SF should use a 190-55)

I think you can mail order them too Clicky

I've used them on both my 1098 and SF and although they aren't the quickest transitioning I think they are pretty good.
