I run an 010 Battleax on the front and an 020 Battleax on the rear of my CBR600 and love them, but I'm guessing your bike is a bit heavier than mine & might have different needs. Unusual wear for your front tyre - makes me wonder if the previous owner didn't have enough money to replace both tyres last time they were changed (it's normal to go through 2 rears for 1 front tyre).

Wait for some of the other guys to show up with their thoughts on the subject.

And welcome.
front tyre has some small cracks in the side wall so maybe it is a bit old.Thanks for the thoughts
