Chicken Strips is the topic. Deal is, I show you mine, you show me yours. Especially Motoronin who raised the question.

As of Dec 2009, 14 months of ownership, BT016, 1 Ring trip with less than 20 laps, rest road riding, some 3,500 miles covered in total. This is my result.

As you can probably tell I'm a total rightie when it comes to leaning, I guess spending a lot time on the 'Ring in the past has got something to contribute to that too. I also seem to have come to a stage where I corner, stick my knee down, and then I stop leaning the bike. In 2008 on the K-R I managed to get rid of this "instinct", but only on the right hand side.
When I took the SDR over I was very disappoined by the suspension and the throttle control. I think I've managed to make the suspension better, but I still want the Motobox and dyno time before I reckon the bike will be good. Either way, unless I do a short-track trackday before Easter, next time the bike sees proper action will be Nürburgring at Easter.

Anyway, enough of my excuses.

nice one joker, it's harder than most people think to get rid of the strips on the front when yer road riding, i reckon thats good wear on those bt016s if you've done all of that, mine only seem to last about 3000mls in total and the last lot were 2ct's now i'm on avon vipers, not as good as the 2ct's though
one day i'll get to grips with that 'photobucket' thingy

You guys need to try a bit harder. I'm 52 y.o. decripit and have never been on a track in my life. The roads I ride are bumpy and narrow with a cliff one side and a mountain wall the other. Still it's nice that your honest and unashamed

I get about 1,500 to 1,800 K's out of a rear BT-016 and about 2,500 to 3,000 K's on the front. Bt-016's are good tyres !!!

Well done bruce950sm. My roads are bumpy too, but I hvae SDR suspension, not SM. Like riding without suspension sometimes. Still looks like your rear tyre could do with a click or two of less rebound damping??

Go Brucey Boy! here's another one for the aussies, this was a set of supercorsas I had on last. They had about 1500kms on them here and I got a trackday out of them afterwards as well, brilliant tyres just too expensive. Unfortunately no front pic, it was similar wear but still a few mm from the edge no matter how hard I tried.. lol

I take my BT016s to the edge on the rear (when the weather is better) on the roads. Closest I've got my front to the edge is on track, 2mm for the right and 5mm for the left.

Nice use of the tyres Bruce. Where do you live? I can only get my tyres to melt on the roads like that when its nice hot days here (a rare event) Track they melt a treat. Do love my BT016s, although not as good as the 2CT in the wet and cold.

Can't wait to try out the K2 and K1 Racetec in Spain in 3 weeks time

Alternatively you may have been riding at Lydden as that track seems to chew tyres up quite nicely.

First time I was on 'the ring' for a lap ever. To many blind corners to achieve maximum leanangle or braking deep in to the corner.

Not with the Duke yet, but on my old Hornet 900 running street pressure 2.7/2.4 , tyres went on new before the trip to the eifel, and were gone a week later including one sesion on Zandvoort. Did about 3500 kilometres with the rear.

I never get the fronts completely off on either road or track even though i ride with my weight over the front. Rears can get off the edge road or track especially if i'm following the north linc's police
Tyre's are the super Dunlop 208 RR's which i rate highly now using the Dunlop Qualifier RR as i can't get the 208's anymore
Tyre's usually last about 2400 mile if i ride carefull
