Currently got them on my CB1, a significant improvement to the macadams that I was using.

Seem to grip fine in the wet & dry conditions. Can stoppy ok on the front Very Happy

Look like their going to last a while as well as have done 4,000 miles on them and they barely look used.

Mine lasted an age! Had them on my ER5, would put up with my London commute for about 8,000 miles. Even with a few nails in! Embarassed

Lewis, how much were the BT45s to fit on your ER-5? Well how much were they and then how much was fitting?

Cheers.

They are about £60 each fitted in the er5 size. Buy as a pair and you might get it down to £110.


I think i'm going back to them this time. The rear Avon i got to replace the BT45 has worn out in under 4000 miles. Confused

Yeah, that seems about right. About £75-80 if I rode in un-booked.

BT45s are good, mate had them on his ER-5. I used to throw that thing around easy enough. Knee down no problem.

Seem to remember having one on the rear of my 125 aswell. Seemed excellent.

I only ever use BT45's now on my GS500,

They are excellent, good grip, warm up fast, nice the wet, The dual compund means the centre wears slower then the soft grippy sides... Good tyre...

I get them for a not bad price... 122 ish the pair delivered:

A good mix of longevity and grip. Inspire confidence even in the wet. I've used them for years on my GPZ500s (wouldn't use anything else on those bikes), and used the BT33 they replaced before that.

I had them on my ER-5, i could get my pegs down just as easily on those as on fancy radials on a bandit i had immediately afterwards. they were good.

Ive got them on my ER5.

No problems, done about 6K on one and still lots of tread left.

Think mine cost about £75 each but that included fitting.

They must have been the same tyres I had no problem with on my old ER-5 then.

as I remember they were not massivly expensive and never gave up on me in wet or dry.

Got a set on my Divvy. Managed to get about 6.5-7k out of them with lots of Motorway and heavy twistie/roundabout action. The front tended to wear on the sides of the tyre alot more than the middle and the rear did the opposite Smile. Mybe just the way I chucked the Divvy round the country roads.. Smile

Got another set on now and they are fairing up well with heavily laden two-up trips.

They are a bit twitchy when cold (I can lock and slide the back easily) but warm up very quickly.

Decent all round tyre in my oppinion.
