BT020's replace the BT54s which are higher mileage tires. BT56s are even
softer than BT57s.

Guys,
Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I thought that BT57's now became
BT010's and BT56's became BT020's?
I had a set of BT57's fitted at the end of May, and after a trip down to
France and back (about 2K miles total), my Yamaha dealer says that they
will need replacing next service! about 3K miles at ?320.00 per set!!!!!
I intend to go for the BT56's AKA BT020's next time. I understand that they
are a little firmer.

Try a BT56 Bridgestone 180/55 @ 41psi . although its now
been updated to a BT010 , i haven't tryed them yet but the
write ups have been good in the press .
both these tyres are quite sticky , so they may not last to long , about
5000 miles with mixed riding ( giving it a handful
most of the time ).
