just but 023's for my A1P zx6r.
got 16's on at the minute but they were pretty shagged when I bought it.
023 were great on my Thundercat. £145/pair off eBay.

pretty sure I have BT021s on my f4i, my first big bike so not sure if this is a good or bad thing any recommendations for what I should change to when the time comes? I ride 365 days a year (unless we get a tiny bit of snow and ive learnt my lesson now not to try and ride in snow) |

Can't help with pure sports tyres, not within my experience, but any of the Michelin Pilot Roads are excellent for all-round use: PR2, cheap, but rears don't last too well. PR3s are liked by many here, but I haven't tried them. PR4s are excellent, and have been my choice for the last 4 or 5 sets of tyres I've gone through. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

These were on my current bike when I bought it, and tbh, they gave me little more confidence than the 021s, and also seemed to wear funny on the front, bad feathering. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I never had that problem with them, either on the Fazer thou or the Street Triple, but probably depends on where and how you ride etc. Nearly all my riding was for pleasure, so not much motorway, straight A roads 'n' such.
The rears were only lasting me about 4000 miles on the Fazer though. I'd still consider them if* I was hard-up and needed a tyre, but at those mileages, it'd really be a false economy.
*If, he says.

I thought I had my ninja for 18 months.... it's 2 1/2 years now and it's still the same rear tyre on there that I got fitted a couple of days after I got the bike (OK it needs replaced now as it's down to the wear markers), but that's been about 8,000 miles, a few burnouts and basically riding like a tit.... in the near desert conditions that we always have in Scotland
