bridgestone bt45s vs pirelli sport demons

[optimised yammy]

which ones im heading towards the bridgestone bt45 atm ive heard alot of good things about them and the other thing what sizes do i need on my bike? (r125)

[cbrsims]

id go pirrelli but thats just me and read the side of your tyre it will be like 17inch tyre by like 130/70? someone with a r125 will be able to tell you the tyre size but if not go outside and look at your bike it says it all down the side

I've heard good nd bad reviews bout Pirelli :/ nd oh yh lol never thought bout tht lol ill do it in a sec haha

[cbrsims]

its usually down to preference and money in the end, ive even heard people want a nice loooking tread pattern ahha, most modern tyres are pretty good you will never ride them on there limits in the dry in this country

[optimised yammy]

Tread pattern? Really? -_- nd dry? In Britain?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Had those on my Aprilia RS and my Honda NSR and both went down on nothing!

The Honda slipped on a slightly wet drain lid and I slid down the main high street in Preston and hit one of them light up plastic bollards!
The bollard was a mess and the bike had no front end, but I picked it up and buggered off home (5 odd miles) with a throbbing leg and half my bike missing!

And the Aprilia RS just went on an almost dry standard corner.
I had only set off from the lights about 50 yards from the bend so was only doing like 20MPH at most.

I do not rate Bridgestone Battlax BT45's at all. People can bum fuck them all they like, but I've tried and tested twice now and both times the bike got binned in standard granny-shopper style riding.

I mean fuck, even the crappy Michelin Pilot Sportys are better than that!
I know they're not good, but my R125 didn't get binned like with the Bridgestones.

You need to get...

...Pirelli Sport Demons! (or Pirelli MT 75's).

Here is Bridgestone's familiar logo and company slogan...



And here is my own personal version...

[cbrsims]

[optimised yammy]

[MRB3N]

Well If I have lost Bridgestone some more customers and saved some more lives then GOOD!

Bridgestone can go and get Ninja'd!

I bought the Bridgestone's for my Honda NSR and they were shite and I said I'd never buy them again.

Then when I got my Aprilia RS it had the BT45's already on it! And yes they were shite again.

Pirelli have now got my business from now till forever basically.

Good price and an excellent world class tyre.

Just bought a rear BT 45 to try it out :b

Not planning on having the bike much longer, so it'll be someone elses problem if it turns out to be shite. Just hope I don't end up binning it after reading Bens post :/
