I've just heard via the Desmosedici Riders Club that Bridgestone have stopped production of the BT01. Anyone heard the same from elsewhere?

Nope - not for tyres to fit the standard rear wheel. 17" rear is the only option. There are obviously lots of alternatives to Oz for these (e.g. I have BSTs) but the prices above are very good and Oz have a very good reputation.
If it's true, then it's disgraceful that that you can no longer buy tyres for the standard wheels just a few years after production ended.
Postlethwaite Horologicals of Islington will convert your Desmosedici wheel into an attractive wall clock.
That's shocking news on the tyres. If no alternative becomes available you'd think Ducati would allow a swap to, or limited cost, 17 inch wheel option.
First I've heard of it, and I can't find anything on the Dunlop website. I have a 17" rear but just out of interest can you share a link or any more details?
Was in my dealer today and asked him to price a 16" Bridgestone BT-01. He said they were available and could get one with no problem.
I guess they still have stock but aren't making any new ones. It's no great loss. They are pants. They really weren't that good even when they came out way back in 2008. Today they are seriously lacking compared to modern rubber.
