Yes, you'd been downgrading. Hubby's GSXR 600 (2004) came with them OEM so they're old technology now. The new ones are 016s.

But, the 014's are still great tyres, if the price is right then hey.
Scooter boy
i think the corsa's are much better

yea i thinking twice about saving up that extra for some corsa's,im just wondering if a mere mortal like myself would notice the diff...Originally Posted by points

Yes, you'll most likely notice the difference. Even tyres of the same size (e.g. 180/55) can feel completely different because of the profiles and shape of the tyre. My K4 1000 came with Bridgestones (012s) but we flicked them for Pilot Powers to help it turn in better.

I have just replaced my 014's with Dunlops rr's , i only got 4500 kms from them and they were well and truly buggered. I was not that keen on them my self but every body has a personal opinion. I can only speak from my esperince. I put a set of dunlop qualifies rr ed209's on my last bike and they were great. So i am going back to them. Good luck.

thanks for the feedback,very helpful.
i just checked the cycletread website,corsa's are over $400 just for the rear!

Ouch! Is there a particular reason you want to stick with the Corsas instead of considering other brands, such as the Michelins? I know we can get full a full set of Powers for $500ish.

Standard fitment on the K4-great tyres. Make sure they are warm before canning and you should be fine.im currently on pirreli corsa 3's and can get a good deal on the bridgestones.would i be downgrading or are these tyres just as good?ive heard mixed reviews on them.

Any doubts I had about ther effectivness have been laid to rest by Enigma51, he proved that [as usual] the rider makes far more difference than the tyres.

My K6 1000 and my K6 750 came shod with 014s... I never had any bad issues with them, in fact I can honestly say I liked them. I put a set on my K4 1000 when I had that bike, too.
At the end of the day, tyre preference is an individual thing, like suspension set up. Different strokes for different folks...

Friends don't let friends ride Bridgestones (tm).
Pay no attention to Enigma, he's just a mad jarpie cunt who hates sticky tyres because they don't let him slide around.
kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.

birdgestones are wayyy better then perillis in the wet. and better over a way wider range of tempratures, making them better for road riding.
of course, you could get the race ones(i havnt tested them yet, but im told that their the shizz(just ask rossi))
ahh yes, your forgettign that bridgestones have that slide factor before they let go completely(bit like contis)
