I also have a 04 1000RR and it came with the 014's....the 04 is my track bike which I did the front springs and valve kits along with a 3 way Penske shock. It also has Akrapovic EVO exhaust, PC3USB, custom map. I use either Pirelli Supercorsa's or Metzler RaceTec's....but I liked the 014's before I switched.
I am going to take my truck to Seattle with my Busa and busahaya's in the back....if RSD makes the trip....I'm gonna have to make room for the RR too.Congrats BA, your gonna bring that to the group ride in Oregon I expect?
Hmmmmmm do I ride the BUSA or the RR
Whatever they say is just marketing.....I don't know nor do I care the 06 stock is faster than my 04 with exhaust, PC, and a custom map
I almost bought the 06 GSXR1000....you can't go wrong with any of the new litre bikes
I got another Honda because I like my 04 and a lot of the parts are interchangeable.

Yeah , your right...you cannot go wrong with any of the modern liter bikes.
What twists my noodle are those that spend the big $$ on Aprillas and Ducatis ...and gulp Triumphs.
Tufbusa, have you considered trying the new Dunlop Qualifier? From what I gather they are excellent. I am going with some Qualifiers if I cannot get any 015s. I'll probably use at least one more 014 rear before trying some other tires out though.

Got my answer back from Bridgestone..

The BT-015 is OE on the CBR1000RR only.
BT-014 remains our main sportbike line.
We have heard that they work well on other bikes, but we have no data.
They are available now.

Sounds like they might be stickier than the 014s but since they were made for the 1000RR then I will probably pass on them.
I guess I am going to try the Qualifiers or stick with the 014s.

I had a chat with Bob this morning as well and he told me the same, they are OEM on the Honda but he also said the reports are they are much better than the 14? The 14 is a great tire. I think I'll try a set of 15's. I'm about due for new rubber on my K5 gixxer anyway.
