Mamma Kaw oughtta be bitchslapped for putting stones on this bike.

Well the 16's are far from the original stones and at $200 otd, thinking about trying something different this late in mi season

If you ride hard, those tires will be gone in a weekend.

Of course, I wear out ST tires in a weekend.

I ran a front for 1000 miles, it handled and gripped as good as anything else, but I had a 2000 mile trip to do so I swapped it for an Angel as It was not gonna make it to 3000.

I think you guys might have mistaken what he asked- the 016's are not OEM on the C-14, those are 021's.

To the original poster, not only have I not used 016's but I don't remember anyone else reporting having used them either. If you do give them a try please let us know what you think of them, especially compared to any / all other tires you have used on the C-14.

Brian you're right. I guess after Bridgestone my brain quit listening. My apologies to the OP for my confusion.

Hey, no problem, I just didn't want the thread to go on with what might have been a bit of a 'left turn' in the middle. It could confuse new folks and spread bad information. And that is the primary territory of KiPass as far as I know....

I guess I'll have to say five Hail Marys and spend two hours 'Over There' as penance.

The BT-016s came on the Ninja. I'm only 416 miles into them with no complaints, just too soon to tell.

The bt016 comes stock on the Ninja 1000. I'm currently wearing mine out....its just over 600 mile sand showing wear.....like a pr2 at 3000 mile sort of wear.

Its not great on the Ninja, and I dont see myself putting it on the c14 even if they were free.  The bto16 was updated to the bt016 pro so they are closing out the old model. The profile is strange as well. It feels like a squared off triangle and might not feel good on the c14.

Mine WAS free, I guess. It came on the ZX14 wheel I bought on Ebay when I busted my C14 wheel. Like I said it was good or better than anything else I've, Pilot Road I, II, Angel ST,  Shinko Verge and Raven but seemed to wear visibly with each ride. The Ebay seller claimed it was only 800 miles old. I put another 1000 on it and then changed it as it seemed the tread was 50% gone.

Thanks for clarifying. Some people just have had too much Koolaid LOL
I ordered them. for $200 shipped this late in season, its worth it over the $325 PR3's. I did this same thing a few years back when Pirellis blew out their super sport tires. i got 5 k out of them easily. I used to run the 016 on my busa, was a great tire but ate the rear up in 5 k as well of course i at up a set of PR3's in 4k so we will see.

[gPink]

koolaid?

I agree with this.  The 016's on my Ninja 1000 were gone in about 3500 miles, and that is a 200 lb lighter bike (I ride them both about the same).  I put PR2's on both the Concours and Ninja 1000 and they handle better than the 016s and should easily last twice the miles.

Why Steve, were you going to post some type of comparison between BHO and those tires?
