NEW ARRIVAL

[Bikeazoid]

Oh, the 400 is the silver one....

[Smallkat]

The 400 has an 18" front, which limits tyre choice a bit.

[fossie]

Tyre choice is limited ...but the BT45 that is available as a pair for the 400 is the best option anyway .

[Smallkat]

I need to replace the front on smallkat, so I will go for the bt45.

[PaulD]

There’s an upgrade for the BT45 called the BT46. Supposedly better wear and wet weather capability’s. My mates just had a set fitted to his H1 Kawa as the BT45’s weren’t available

[Smallkat]

Wet weather?

[Kryten]

Wet weather?

... and the dark?

[GSF34058]

I had a pair of BT45s fitted to my flying brick in February, and a pair of BT46s for my Katana in July.

I don't get my knee down on corners, but I don't hang around either. I was out and about on the BMW yesterday in the fog, rain and greasy, salted roads. I am happy with the grip and handling of both types of tyre.

I used to run slicks on the road when I was doing track days and only had one bike (R1), and didn't want to swap wheels for the track, that was fun, but street tyres (I'm learning) are much easier to ride on the street with.

Here in Southern California I don't even own an umbrella so slicks can be "all weather tyres".
