Bear in mind the amount of freebies 44T get out of Bridgestone by way of sponsorship, they aren't going to give them a bad review.

That said, there have been a few independent reviews who rave about them too (y)

I don't think there is such a thing as an independent review now.

I trusted the PB tests as they seemed the least likely to be swayed by freebies and ad spending.

And having met Johnny Mac a few times, he struck me as someone who would tell it like it is.

Sadly even that is gone now.

Just read the road test and track test in PB Duke and the s21 is the overall winner with a glowing review.

Think I'm going to order a set of these for the s3 (y)

So M7RR is the same price as the S22 but comes with a £25 Amazon voucher.

The S21 is £30 cheaper.

Duke you have some thinking to do. I personally think they would all be great tyres. Never considered Bridegstones until I tried them with my current 016 Pro and they are very good. So I could imagine the newer versions just being better than these

I've order some s21 tyres. For £160 for a set and a pb test winner they have got to be worth a try.

As i am on hospital duty this afternoon, i took the opportunity to take the ST up to Lake Vyrnwy for a coffee and a sandwich this morning.

I haven't been up that way for a few years but found some nice roads very suited to the Street.

RST were taking photos for their 2020 catalogue with a Tenere 700 when i got there.

I have to say, i more and more feel like i don't need anything more than the Street. It does 90% of what i need from a bike.

I'll post a few photos when i get back home.

I've recommended my newbie bike mate should test ride the ST675. He's test ridden an XJ6 Diversion so far after being disappointed with the condition of the ER6F he planned to test. His verdict on the XJ6 was "it's not for me" with a very underwhelmed tone of voice

Sutton Honda/ Triumph East Birmingham or whatever they're called are selling their demo for £8900. Only 400 miles on the clock should anyone want a bargain.

Own it while it's got a warranty then sell it.
