Just had a quick look and my VFR8 is shod with BT57's

Never heard of them before, are they good or shit?

BT014s die way too quick , I had some on my CBR before the tour and they looked shagged after some hot laps , v grippy though,

alas its a VFR800 a tourer and BT20s make a nice match , you can get well over and they have an 8000 mile life.

MattHirst, too late.. look in general Bike Pictures, they've been there a few days Wink

.

As Itchy said, when your tyres do wear out (won't be mega long if they are like the 014's) get either BT020's or the slightly more expensive BT021's. I think they're eventually going to replace the 020's. They have similar tyre life but are a bit better grip wise, but whether you would notice the difference from 020's is debatable.
