I've always ran the plain old Pilot Powers on my 600RR...and now my 1000RR. I've probably been through 8 sets of them overall between both bikes. They have always been pretty inexpensive, and have seemed to have good grip and handling characteristics.
The only thing I don't like about them is that if I can get 2500-3000 miles on a rear, I'm lucky. I can get about 5000 on a front. I would like to try a new tire....something that will last longer, but will have the same or more grip and not give up and feel or handling. I've also noticed that they seem to spin up a little on the 1000RR..and get pretty loose sometimes.
I've been looking at the BT-016s. Has anyone gone from a PP to an 016? Big difference in life? What about traction?
Any info on the BT016's would be great!
Thanks
