how about comparing the Bridgestone Rear Battlax BT45V 130/80V-18 to the dunlop gt501 i am stuck and i gotta decide by saturday morning shit it is saturday morning..
I agree the bt20's on my ninja cupped very bad!! the 207's on this VFR feel alot better they may not last but the bt20's were cupped so bad I dont consider them to last at all
I have not used 005 but used 003 ( 3 years as a race tire ) when yokohama was making them and they are a great tire and good in the rain as well ( you wouldn't think they would be due to limited tread pattern ) one thing I would not put a 190 on a VFR stay w/ the 180 or proformance will suffer- slower steering and tire wear the 190 is made for a 6" wide rim not a 5.5 - if you mount 190 on 5.5" rim it could cause you to loose traction at max lean angles.
