Rear Tire Question

[TheSpadMan]

Quick Question. Is the Bridgstone battlax bt020 200 60 VR 16 a good tire. Does it work well on the Valkyrie??   Just wanting to know. Motorcycle supr store has them for $152 right now.

A friend recently put one on a VTX 1800. He said he just wanted a larger tire for looks. My gut feeling is that it's a softer tire and may not last as long as a Cobra or Metz ME880.

It works very well, wears about the same, is a tad shorter, hence a little more rpm at speed.  I would buy another at that price if I needed a tire.  HDL has a sale currently on most all items.  Hoser

Jake Wilson "jakewilson.com" has Avon Cobras for $155 from and $180 rear.  Do an internet search and you can get a 10% discount coupon for orders over $150...plus free delivery.  So...both tires for about 300 bucks.
