Yup got them on my k3 thou at the mo, i have a 190 55 on the rear and i feel lot more confident on them than the mitchelins that were on it when i purchased the bike, mind you i only done bout 1500k on them and am a nana on it, spose the real test will be at the cliffhanger hill climb in March (if they last that long).

Heres a review on the BT-016.
I have 021's on the Yamaha.
I had PR3's on the Honda when I traded it, and was going to swap them over, but elected not to after riding on the 021's.

Maha: That's an old review for the BT-016, not the newer BT-016 Pro.

Thanks for the linkies guys. I'll be able to write my own review soon enough - I have a set on hold at the local dealer for when the current set die (soon).

Personally I have nothing else on the gixxer. I have tried some different ones but keep coming back to the 16's.
The new 16 pro is even better then the old version so I see no reason to not recommend them, unless you want a tyre to last more than 10k.

I like 'em too. Given that the "old" 016's give me around 9k, I figure the Pro's will be OK in that respect.

9K:eek: I'm happy when I get 6.5k, but generally has a few track days on there as well.

'S'cos I'm a pore ole grampa man who only rides his bike once a week...over the mountain to the coffee shop and back. :innocent: 35km. Usually takes 17 minutes...:devil2:
