Hopefully I will get more km out of this tire than out of the previously used ones, which lasted round about 13.000km averagely. I guess I will, because the BTO23 has a totally different profil structure.
As for the rear tire I stay with the BT54F. I've mounted them and all of the used tires has been good for more than 26.000km. Maybe it's my riding style, which makes it possible. But not with the front tire til now. The engine may be too heavy to allow more km with the front BT54F and its profil. This may change now. Will see. Mostly I brake with the rear brake because of the CBS, which I like. So my braking style is not the case for the relative low amount of km compared to the rear tire.
I like the BT023 as a tyre, a good all rounder which has been around for a while. I'm currently at 9,600km on a pair of these on my Daytona 1200 which is a little lighter than the CB1100EX (to my surprise). I reckon the front will go to around 12K km to get to the wear indicator. I wouldn't be heavy on the brakes either. You don't have a choice on the Daytona anyway, they are rubbish!
The rear oddly has a bit more meat on it but is a bit squared off affecting handling which would prompt me to change prematurely.
