I put 4200 miles on this tire on my Concours 14 (190/50) and I enjoyed every single one of it. I rode it mainly on super twisties and a bit in the rain. It has great grip! I'm a heavy fellow (230+ lbs) and on the heavy Connie, but it handled impeccably.
If I have to name one minus, then it's the thread life. I sort of kind of expected more off it. I now have a brand new BT023 GT (180/55) and I'm very curious how they compare.

Great tire all around, Ive commuted daily on these for about 2 years now. i get over 10000 miles out of them but i take em to the limit and get a little more to over 12000. Not that i recomend it. Like i said i commute daily not 20 miles, 100 miles minimum daily just for work. i ride about 2500 miles a month and alway know my traction is there when i need it. I ride. I am going to switch to a Shinko 705 to try them out and see how they last for the money.

I had a set of these that lasted more than 12,000 miles. They offered more grip than I am willing to test on my BMW R1100RT It was a no-brainer decision as to what to replace them with. It gave good traction wet or dry. I look forward to this new set.

This has been my go to tire for a few years now. I've done long tours in both wet and dry conditions as well as a bunch of track days in wet and dry conditions and the tire performed well with excellent tread life.
Although geared more for sport touring than track days they can serve as an OK track tire for a novice track rider who doesn't yet want to commit to a full on sport/track tire.
I've now ordered another set for my VFR800.

No complaints about this tire. Smooth running and lots of grip. Tread life is better than the o21.

Would a 150/70/17 fit on a 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 250R for the rear?

I have no issues fitting the front, but I am unsure whether the 150/70/17 would be small enough to fit on the rear.

Answer: 
It would. But 140 is the maximum recommended. However, why would you want to fit a tire like that? It corners like a dream on 130's. You'll totally change the feel of the bike. It was engineered by the Japanese after a lot of thought. Why change it?
