I bought a Bridgestone BT012 last september done a few hundred miles then put the bike away for winter,must of only done about 1800 miles and I need a new one already.I think its down to the sheer grunt and power put down to the rear of the R1 as I had the same tyre on my ZX9R and got over 3000 miles.
Take it easy out there

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vacuum in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, there goes another engine!

May 21, 2005 at 10:18 am #27921ScouserParticipantNow don’t laugh but i got about 23,000 miles out of original tyres fitted to a 250N Superdream that I bought from new. I think the tyres were plastic?
