This is a brand new set of Brigestone BT-016F, which is the OEM tyre from the 2009 R6. We took these off the bike new and I am running it in on Conti's.
Because these are OEM fitment, the're probably a different spec to the shelf BT-016.
Size is 120/60-17 front, 180/55-17 rear.
They may make an alright commuting tyre...but thats your call :)
Feel free to make an offer. I can ship N/wide.

Got any pics of the sidewall?
Apparently they mark them with a G at the end for OEM spec (i.e. single compound front 2 rear vs dual/triple for non-OEM).

As far as I know the F designaition (BT-016F) is the OEM mark for R6. I'm not sure, Bridgestones are neither my expertise or passion :)

PM sent.
One quick question, I currently have a 120/70 front on the hornet, is going to a shorter sidewall (120/60) going to make any differences aside from a slightly quicker turn in, speedo over-reading and possibly a harsher ride? I think it should be sweet as the hornet needs a sharper turn-in but I dont want to open a can of unpredictable handling worms.
