The 016/023 combo is awesome on the road. Love them!

Pirelli Angel GT itself is not specified for heavy bikes, there must be (A) version.

The bridgestone 023gt is for heqvier bikes like the FJR amd ST1300.

Superhawks are definitely not in that weight class.

Pirelli Angel GT is an evolution of Angel ST, it is just name. For heavy bikes, there is Angel GT in specification (A). Take a look what UK site recommends for our bikes.

How is that I haven't seen this thread before. The only thing that I love more than an oil thread is a tire thread.
Recently put on a set of Pirelli Angel GT and, well, you fill in the rest.
I will say that Jamie is right in the axiom "don't use a tire with an m in it".
