Hi,

I have an 02 748 and have the bt 016 were the first replacement tire i put on. I liked them and had no problems with them getting around 7000 km be fore replacement. I now do some track days and find the bt 002 a better softer and stickier tire for the street and track. i get about 5000 km on a set. You may want to change the front tire to a 120/70 instead of the 120/60 that originally came with the bike. I find the bike turns in more quickly and smoothly.

I find that interesting that the bike turned in quicker with a 120/70. I have run slicks with a 120/60 profile without having adjusted the fork height and the 120/60 caused the bike turn fall in extremely fast.
