Both my front BT45 and my Rear 020 are getting low, and i am considering a pair of the new 021's for my Bandit 6, im looking for peoples experiences with 021's

Grip/life/warm up time/wet weather handling etc...

Cheers in advance.

Haven't tried em yet, but i've been using 020's on the VFR since i bought it, they are excellent, so i'm interested in any reviews of the new ones too.

I'm pretty sure they aren't available yet. The pilot road 2s are though. Cool

I know places selling them already and have spoken to the occasional person who has them, so i think they are out now...

you should probably consider having matching tread types, at the moment you have a cross ply front and radial rear, (not illegal)
but might be worth keeping them the same,
i like 020s as a pair but i dare say the o21s will be similar
enjoy your new grip Very Happy

Everyone goes on about my setup, its not illegal as you say but it works well for a bandit 6... Better than a pair of BT45's

I had an 020 fitted yesterday at 'Ride in' in Reading, he has 021's in stock but as they are so new even Bridgestone are recommending them fitted front and rear as they are a bit untested in combi's like an 014 front/020 rear, look good with more of a sportsbike profile and aparently 15% more life than an 020, i will be trying them when i kill the current rubber.

My heart is set on Pirelli Diablos as my next tyre.

Soulrider has some and con't praise them highly enough. Although if I were to start commuting on the train again, I would consider the supersticky Diablo supercorsa as apparently they are the bollocks!
