If you've had a set of these, what is tour opinion? I'm thinking of
switching from BT014's on my ZX9 as I'm just about getting 3,000 miles out
of each rear (lots of fast motorway riding).

They were excellent on my VFR750 & TDM850. Avoid motorways and a rear
would last 7k

Have a look at http://www.bridgestone-eu.com/tyreselector/MC_TyreSelector.asp?

BT020 is a recommended fitment for older ZX9.

I've not tried 014s, but btb with 010s I found them comparable in grip
on dry roads when warm, not far behind otherwise (albeit slower to
warm up), and getting on for double the mileage. Next time round,
however, I fancy trying the Avons.

Dogs nads with my GSX. I wouldn't put anything else on, as I feel
really confident with them on. They're spot on for long distance riding
and I get loads of miles out of them. Excellent grip in ****ty weather
too.

God, I'm pissed.
