I have the sportec M3s on my gixxer and they are a fantastic tyre. Excellent grip, good feedback, got my knee down in the strangest place!
Only problem with them is the price tag :/

isnt the 020 a sports touring tyre?
personally I dont like bridgestones, I dont like the sportec M1s either - dont behave nicely in teh wet.
However, Im yet to find anything bad about the sportec M3s

Your right, they dont behave nicely in the wet but they do behave nicer than the 208's the bike came with originally.
Ratbag: It's hard to to say if a tyre is better than another one as we all have different needs from our tyres, i got the M1's on a cheap offer originally to have a play with and just had a new set fitted to have some good corner fun over the summer. M1's have a very sporty V shaped profile and i know a lot of people who dont like the way it makes their bikes behave as opposed to the more rounded touring profiles than i enjoy using in the winter.

well said if your doing higher milage and motorways miles ect then you'll want somthink that lasts longer and wont squear off i on the other hand mainly use my bike for weekend thrash/trackdays so go for the most sticky tyers i can but only get 2-3000 miles out of them
I did a track day at rockingham the air temp was 4c and the track was in the -'s not warm at all! but they only took around 2 laps to get some good heat into them and gave plenty of grip for peg/knee downs even in that weather!
i then road home 40 mile in hail/snow and i really really didnt want to push them then 0 grip!
