I fitted them to my ZXR750 with an intent to swap them over to the ST. I
did Le-mans France in April, it was very wet in places. I found them
very good. Only problem, since then, I've picked up a puncture in the
rear tyre. So now I'm replacing the rear BT57 with an 020 and leaving
the front BT57 on for the while.
