I have used these on the track on a cold, but sunny October day and they were producing enough grip to get my knee down. Generally in warm, dry conditions they will suit most road riding. However it's not to say I haven't had them slip even on a good day. But, if you fancy scaring yourself ringing, just add water, and not a lot; a terrible tire in the rain and even damp conditions. Slips when accelerating even when upright, requiring progressive acceleration and cornering just stops being fun! I wouldn't look to purchase these.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Honda CB 1,000R Motorbike drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Have had many different tires over the years on various bikes (maninly sports) and must say these have been the best of the lot. On my recent fireblade and now CB1000R I have used BT 014's, 015's, 016's, 021's as well as many other makes. These give plenty of feedback and inspire me to ride quicker and corner faster and have been excellent in the wet. They also seem to be wearing well and I have replaced tires at a lot less miles then what these have currently done.
All in All a very good tire that I would use again and recommend.
