Bridgestone BT 023 tyres

[Mick_J]

Bikespeed UK having a sale on BT 023's including GT's all at £139.  Very tempted to try out the 120/70 and 190/55 combo, has anyone here used these tyres on their 1400?

Ive not used them on my 14 but I used them on my VFR800 ( I know its a different bike) and found them excellent in all weathers and pretty durable.

From the Michelin Power 5 Topic.

That was a really shit recommendation that Sweaty gave you Pete 
I recommended them after taking the original tyres that came with the bike off, which were like wood. So the 023's felt like moto go tyres at the time 
I would never have a set again, now that I have had Angel Gt's & now the PR5 which feel even better.

I've got BT023s on mine. They are pretty durable, also cheap, but that's the best thing I can say about them. They don't inspire much confidence when it's cold and damp.

I think technology has moved on and I would be looking at Michelin PR4/5s or Pirelli Angels next time round. Even Bridgestone have better tyres in their range.

023's are really old technology tyres now, a set of PR5's or Angels would be a much better investment.

I had 023's on a 1250 Bandit - as has been said didn't inspire confidence in the wet and the front went almost to a point in the middle which was most alarming  I wouldn't go back to them personally

I previously used 020-023 Bridgestone tyres and found them to be good value.
I have noticed that complaints about them come from colder climates so U.K. is probably not an ideal place for them.
Perth Australia the weather is temperate so they work well. I have swapped to the Pirelli Angel GT's though.

I've used 023s on my Triumph Sprint for 10 years and the GSX for 5, no complaints.
Going to be getting more in the near future.
