nice to see the touring spirit so profound here...

 

ride safe guys..

 

just to share my story here..

my bike jus paid for itself last few weeks..

 

it was during a rain..

slight drizzle but the traffic was rather heavy...

and i was on the expressway traveling behind some cars on lane 1..

suddenly, the car in front of me jammed brake to allow lane 2 veh to cut in...

^%@#&%@ the lane 2 veh....

 

to cut the story short... i also jammed my brakes... i though i was abt to crash.. then suddenly my intermittent brakes got working... ABS!

i stopped just in time from the car in front.. and yes..

my life is worth more than the stupid car/bike. so the bike already paid for itself...

 

ride safe guys !!

Aurium

[Aurium]

i choose Pilot Road 2ct... it`s very lasting and grips well..

Had buddies recommended the 023.... But check the bridgestone webby 023 does not have any fitment for the GTR. I had the PR2 for the Thai trip, it's slippery when wet. Had a couple of spin when trying to pickup.

I'd go for Pilot Road II.. Had mine installed a few months back for my '14 & it rocks rain or shine..

 

Heard that Dunlop is coming out with a new model that'll kick the Road II's arse.. Can't wait to see the reviews..

I think PR2 does not run well in Thai roads when it's wet. A couple of spin and slip when moving off....

Hi Advrider, one of bro I went Hatyai with also using the 023. he say wet grip were good.

 

Our concours is using this (F)120/70-17 ®190/50-17 size right? If yes then Unique MS do hv the tyre, Bridgestone Battlax BT023 120/70-17 190/50-17

I had checked the Metzeler webby did not find any fitment for the GTR. I think for the 023 you can ask unique to order from distributor. My Malaysian kakis tells me it lasted long and good grip even wet.

The Pilot was excellent on Malaysian roads even during rain.. Was travelling around 180km/h during heavy downpour & the grip is commendable.. Used Metzeler during my Super4 days & skidded a few times so have a little phobia with Metzelers.. Might be a totally different series from the Roadtec though.. Mmm.......

Lcp, PR2s are great but I had significantly better grip & feedback with the Alpha11s, PG timings were 2-4s quicker on 10 lap avg.
