But, how about the tires? How do you like them? Is the 180/55 better for you?
Now that I have the back of my bike opened up ( cut off fender ) I want to fill it also as well as handling.
My brother's ZZR/1200 has the Roadtech 120/70 front and 180/55 rear.

How about that truck in the background? What a contrast!

Yea I felt the pressure from the truck behind

. I used 120/70/17 front and 180/55/17 rear, havn't had anything other on this bike and will stay with that. I've always felt them as easy-turning, and when the after hand somewhat flattened mid sections, caused by all commuting on straight roads, where restored, I felt absolutely comfortable with these tyres on track. Until the rear slided at the last session in a severe curve due to previous overheating. The roadtech Z6's will come on next week, they are the same dimensions.
