No I have no info on RR. What info I do have is that they are what where used on the original 4 cylinder Gold Wings and they have a load rating of 315kg and can be inflated to 280 kpa. One of the problems I am attempting to address is the short life of the original Bridgeston BT45, which is only about 8000 - 10000 km. The bonus is that they are 7% larger and thus they reduce the engine rpm at any given road speed. The problem that may arise is the clearance to the fender. I have done the basic mesurements and it looks ok but you can only be 100% sure by doing an instalation and test ride.
You can get motorcycle tire info on the web at bridgestontire.com or dunloptire.com or do a web search for motorcycle tire. They don't seem to have wear ratings or RR for motorcycle tires on the web that I could find.
