I've used BT45s on all my bikes from the FJ1200 to the K7 Honda. This '94 diversion I've bought has Dunlops on it & I'm impressed. Arrowmax on the back & a touring radial on the front - tread goes further down the side than the B'stones & there's no defined "drop off" point.
Went for a (very quick) fang with a few mates last week & the only thing quicker through the twisties was a ZXR10 with Diablos

I have Dunlop Arrowmax SP501's on my XJ600N, infact on my second rear tyre. Not having been offered Bridgestones by my bike shop I suppose it was no choice but I do like them. My last rear covered 6,500 miles and still had tread left (I like to err on the side of safety and not wait 'till it's bald).
Very confidence inspiring and grippy in the wet too.

I used to have Dunlop D220st, but they don't make them any more, brilliant tyres.

Got a Dunlop Roadsmart rear (180/55x17) for the FZ6 at Bike Treads in Swindon yesterday. I had been looking for a Bridgestone BT020, which is what was fitted before, and which has lasted 7,500 miles. But BT020's are getting difficult to find and after all the negative stuff I've read about the BT021 I didn't fancy one of those.
The front BT020 still has at least 2K left on it, and the combination certainly seems to handle OK - I don't think there's a lot of difference in the profile of the Dunlop and the Bridgestone, unlike the sportier Dunlops which are quite pointed.
The Roadsmart cost £115 fitted to a loose wheel. I'm not sure if that's the best possible price, but it does compare well with what BT020's are fetching on e-bay (over £100+delivery) and I've always found Bike Treads helpful. For comparison they quoted £111 for an Avon Storm.
Incidentally there was a D9 parked outside yesterday lunchtime, waiting for an MoT I assume. Anyone on here?
