I will never buy again these tires, brodgestone battlax bt023, when i have bought my motorcycle it came with battlax bt021, no grip on these tires, than i have changed to dunlop roadsmart sportmax, awesome tires, makes my gsx650fk8 awesome, very good handling and a lot of grip on the edges and on wet asphalt. But on battlax bt023 you have no grip on dry asphalt on asphalt painnt, and when it's raining you have no grip at all, just rev my motorcycle in 2nd speed at 7000 rpm and back wheel starts spining, with dunlop i should rev it to 10-11000 rev to spin my back tire. I will never buy bridgestone tires, dunlop and michelin are kings of the roads.
