I'm on my 3rd set of BT-45s on my CB750 (which specifies bias tires). I think they are an excellent "all around" tire. There are stickier tires, but I've never had an issue scraping pegs on the 750. They also wear quite well.
My CB1100 came with the BT-54s from the factory. I had heard from sources that they would be available in the U.S. in early 2014. I see by a quick look on the web that they seem to be generally available in Europe and the U.K., but not in the U.S.
The BT-54 seems to be Bridgestone's radial equivalent of the BT-45. I've been satisfied with the performance of the BT-54s so far (just over 3K miles). I'm hoping that they'll be more widely available by the time I need a new set of tires for the CB11. If not, it's nice to know that the BT-45s will work.
