New BT-45's

Took a ride into Vermont.  New Bridgestone BT-45's are nice!

Great looking scenery, great looking bike!

Hope you took it easy on the BMW

I may try the BT-45's next.  Nice looking country.  I'd love to do that ride in early Fall.

That does look like a very pretty ride!

I have never though of the NH as a small bike, but with all the plastic on the BMW, it kind looks a little, well little.

Thanks, those shots are from East Mountain Rd. which loops through and around Killington Ski Resort.  Very nice scenery in the Summer.

I took Route 4 West through Vermont.  Stopped at the Long Trail Brewery along the way for lunch.  The Quechee Gorge was also a sight to take in for sure.  This is Killington Mt. with no snow.

A few days ago I put BT-45's on my 650.
What is your opinion of them over other tires you've run?

They're ok however not as nice as my old Dunlop 491's that are no longer being made though I only have about 50 miles on them so far. I'm not impressed with them on loose dirt roads so far. They're a bit more spooky than the Dunlops were at this mileage. It could be just me with little riding experience on them so far.

When I picked up the bike a few months ago, it had the original Dunlop tires on it.  I figured after 8 years & 8k miles it was time for a change.  I considered Metzeler Z6 Interacts, but the reviews on the BT's & the price tag were definitely favorable.  I haven't run them on any dirt roads.

I have heard some feedback of early wear in middle of rear tire, but after about 350 miles on them - they feel really nice.  We'll have to see how they look after 2k miles.
