What's a good front wet weather tyre?

(BT10's for bigger bikes??)

You cannot be serious. The only Bridgestone I would run on an ST1300 is the 020 Battlax. Not too bad a tyre, but not (IMO) as good a tyre as the Metzeler Z6.

And again, if you're not riding hard on the track or the short and winding road, I don't understand why people think they need super-sticky, fast wearing tyres, when a decent set of sport touring tyres will give acceptable performance and longer wear.
