I got pair 5 gt fitted for £280, not much use if you're not in Edinburgh though.

any better than the 4s.
If you want to save money and use an excellent sport touring tyre then forget Michelins and get a set of Avon Storm 3D XM. I use them on my R1200RS and they are popular with Hayabusa riders. Last pair were £190 fully fitted from Protyre in Gloucester. Work well in winter, really well in the Pyrenees and last well.
wes,had these may years ago on my b/king to be honest from memory they were very good,i will look into them.
ok anyone fitted the avons to the 1600 ?

Dunlop Roadsmart IIIs really suit the K16GT - great grip wet or dry, nice steering and 6,000 miles per set. No heavy duty version, the standard ones have quite a stiff chassis, absolutely rock stable flat out with passenger and luggage.

I was considering the Road 5 for my RT but sticking with the Metzeler Roadtec 01 HWM, amazing tyre, incredible grip both wet and dry.

I have the Avon's fitted to my K16. Much better than the Bridgestones I had fitted before.

Pretty much anything is better than the Bridgestones.
I would only recommend Dunlop Roadsmart 3 - and, after I put a few ore miles on them, maybe the Michelin Pilot Road 5 GT. The Dunlops have had the most consistent performance throughout the tire's lifespan out of anything I've ever tried, in 16 years, on any bike. I highly value that, as I hate tires that are amazing for the first 2000 miles, and then turn into various degrees of rubbish for the next 3000 - 5000 miles.
The Pilot Road 5 GT shows small improvements in handling, comfort, precision over the RS3, but if the wear is not as consistent and predictable - I will switch back to RS3s. Time will tell - in the meantime I have no reservations in recommending the Dunlops.
