Been in many different conditions (no rain) but all from cold to hot riding.
Great grip. Never had to correct in a corner from a slide except when other thing interfere. (sand, gravel, etc.)
Stability etc.
Round profile, more stable than a Dunlop 207 if you have a real short wheel base, this keeps tank-slappers to a minimum.
Quick or slow to lean in or react to changes?
Slower than a 207 to drop into a lean but still quick enough for street riding.
Great buy, a little soft for long term use. (see BT010 for that) very grippy and stable. I like em on my bike. The front end gets light a lot on this bike so the round profile keeps things more in control.
Type of surface tested on. Temp. Weather Conditions Tested at VIR,Carolina Motorsports Park,and on the street. Temp-VIR 50 CMP 80 Wet riding on the street only
Very good grip in hot or cold. No unexpectded slides. Sory no track time in the rain. Exalent grip on the street in the wet
Stability etc. Very stabil round front. Not a single problem over bumps or elevation changes on the street or track
Quick or slow to lean in or react to changes. About the same as 207GP. The reaction time felt much faster after the sides of the tires were worn from hard riding.
I am very happy with the product. You get good tread Life (for a race compound) and plenty of grip. Lots of bang for the buck.
Used on a wide variety of road surfaces and conditions.
Very good grip right up to the limits. Not as good on power sliding as the Avons or Michelin Pilots. Great balance of grip with very long life. Good if you don't demand the ultimate from your tires. Great wet and cold grip.
Very stable and comfortable in all conditions. Decent feedback in turns. Comfortable, smooth road ride.
Nicely neutral, turns in well but not as quickly as the Avon or Pilot. Much better than the D207 or most of the MEZ's. Completely neutral in turns.
Great all-around street tire. Phenomenal wet performance and very good cold grip. Very long life due to the dual compound, and resists flat-spotting very well. Perfect if you want to balance long life with good real-world usability.
I got 8,000 miles out of my BT56 (is the BT56SS a softer tire?) they came stock on my 01 YZF600R. I don't think they are as soft as D207s, so I would think they offer a littly bit less grip but probably last a little bit longer...
I never had a problems with them, but I can't corner well yet
idk
idk
the BT56 might not be the best street track tire but it's probably good enough for the street as long as you don't lean over too much
Type of surface tested on.All Paved, Mostly Highway, Some mountain passes Temp. - All Weather Conditions Mostly sunny, Some rain
Dry grip is predictable and slides controllable. Downshifting will have you sliding at will. It is not difficult to get the rear to break free on a Busa if there is any damp on the road at all. Wet riding is not as confident as I would have liked. Ultimate grip is way more on Sportech.
Stable under all dry conditions. It lets go way easy in the rear on cold wet days. I'm an old fart, so I got more lean out of the Sportech M1's. BT56 turns in about the same as the Sportech and were as predictable on entry and exit.
Overall very good tires. Would definitely buy them again. I do not know why you would put a Hayabusa on the track, so turn in and corrections on normal roads are good and never scary. Ride is compliant and comfortable.
Got decent wear out of BT56 J spec. (5500 miles) to start showing cord. Sportech M1 has more grip, but went away in 1500 miles.
These tyres are good on a Hayabusa, but do not last over 2000 miles
Very Good

Mostly I'm in the real world with the occasional canyon carving. I don't ride much anymore on wet surfaces. Don't have to. Temperature ranges from 50-100.
I dig these tires over the stock D207's that came with the bike new. There is a saying about Dunlops: "Slip to ya grip". I don't like no tire of mine a slippin' and a slidin'. That does not instill confidence. I know Dunlop has it all over on the track but I'm not on the track. I'm on the irregular and sabotaged roads with oil, sand, gravel, coolant, transmission fluid, water, nails, kids, animals, etc. I'm sticking with my Bridgestones.
Yeah, their stable. I haven't fallen off yet.
Quick. Slow. I'm no Johhny Racer so I wouldn't know other to say they're fine for me.
My original rear Dunlop was history at exactly 5000 miles. My Bridgestone has 3500 miles and looks strong. And the BT56 is considerably less expensive than a Joey.
