I am in need of new motorcycle tires and I realized that others might want to discuss tire choice. It doesn't matter if it's qualifying, track days, cruising, touring, dual-sport, or sport-touring - lets talk tires.
My VFR800 is currently in need of a new set and I was pleased with my Bridgestone BT-021 so I am considering the BT-023 as a replacement, the problem is my bike is about 450 lb so apparently I need the more expensive GT version of the BT-023. I don't remember that being a problem with the BT-021. So now I'm looking at almost $400 in new tires compared to just over $300.
