Bridgestone has developed the new Battlax BT-023 tire for consistent high-level performance in both touring and sport riding. By combining good wear life and wet performance for touring, with the grip and steering control for sport riding, the Battlax BT-023 provides a wider range of choices for larger bikes.
Consistent sport-touring performance: Bridgestone aims to strengthen its position in the sport-touring sector of the replacement motorcycle tire market was the launch of the Battlax BT-023 in February 2010. The advanced new tire significantly upgraded the performance of the BT-021 it replaces, both in the key touring areas of mileage and wet performance, as well as by meeting the handling expectations of the most demanding sport riders.
Mileage – wet performance: The tire provides superb wear life and wet cornering thanks to the re-designed angle-groove pattern and Silica Rich Ex compound with “RC polymer”
Comfort and stability: Both the front and rear tires are constructed with Bridgestone’s proven Mono Spiral Belt (MSB) technology, providing top-level grip, shock absorption and straight-line stability at speed. With a 3 Layer Compound (3LC) on the rear tire, the shoulder compound gives reassuring grip through corners while the center compound with its wide contact area adds stability and smoothness when cruising. The result is a confident ride, with rich feedback and a secure contact feel in all conditions.

Tire was used on a BMW R1200RT. Wore out 2 sets averaging 7,000 miles with moderate riding, very little Interstate travel. Be sure to get GT model for a heavier bike.

Pros: Great mileage, good traction.
Cons: None
I have been using all kinds of sport touring tires on both my VCR and tiger of many years. These give the best mileage with more than acceptable traction. I don't even look at other tires anymore.

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. My bike, 2004 Yamaha FZ-1 came with BT-021's and the front tire cupped from front braking 15k on them. I have had two set of the BT-023's on my. No cupping of front tire. I have averaged 15-16k miles, I ride two-up most of the time. I have never been in the rain with them but on dry surface the grip is awesome! I feel very confident with these tires!
