G'day guys
After 6 long years without a bike I am back. Unfortunately because TReX's are so rare here, I had to opt for the closest thing I could.
A Honda VTRx
I hope you guys will still talk to me.
Because you fellas are the most knowledgeable crew on the face of the planet I thought I would ask a question.
Has anyone used BT023's.?
Are they ok? I can get a set cheap.
Thanks guy's
Terry

It is time to rev your hearts!

I'm using Dunlop Sport Smart which are nice
Best for wear, Grip, wet combined Were Michelin Road Pilot 3s - loved them as all rounders - warmed up quickly, good in winter and Did I mention wet - hate riding in the wet, but these did give confidence
Might go back To Michelin and give Road Pilot IV a try - I dont really ride anywhere near hard enough to warrant Sports tyres and prefer all round ability of Sports Tourers

Welcome back.
You've got a WHAT???
Personally don't like Bridgestone tyres. Prefer an equivalent priced Dunlop.

Hey Terry, welcome back
I had a set of BT-023s on my Trixie recently. I found them to be ok and long lasting
I think they have been superseded by T30s which is what I've got now
They seem pretty good so far

G'day Bob.
I had Bridgestones on my TREX when I had it, and had no issues with them either, But things obviously have changed over the last 6 years, So I think I will go the MIchelin way this time.
The VTRX(Pat. pending
) Still sounds like a TREX so i will have to live with that.

Welcome back! Sorry about your bike.
Just kidding, I have a Honda too! Well, it's mostly Honda...
