Bridgestone Battlax BT 023 120-70-16-W BMW R1150RT 10,000 miles June 21, 2012
I like to lean the bike over and the oil heads lean over an awful lot!
This tire takes over from the previous BT021 and promises longer mileage; I got 10K out of the 21. Behavior is perfect wet, windy, or dry. I cannot comment much about braking since I have ABS linked power brakes; I do not notice the ABS switching on and off more than it should do.
I use 34lbs pressure [also on the rear] and try not to go below that. It appears to resist debris such as nails and sharp stones well.
