BORN ON THE TRACK,
BRED FOR THIS
As Bridgestone’s MotoGP programme continues to produce
spectacular results, the lessons we learn and the technology
we develop also continue to find their way into our road
tyres, like the best-selling BT-014.
Astonishing levels of grip for remarkable handling
and high-speed stability are no longer the exclusive
privilege of the world’s finest motorcycle racers.
For those seeking high-performance sports riding
in all conditions and all road surfaces, there is the
Bridgestone BT-014.

KAWASAKI ER6 FIRST RIDE
Al was very pleased with his creative
wordsmithing in the headline –
‘Dawning of a new

not bad either.
