Default So Much Difference!

I finally got my bike running again and my new tires were on so I went out and sorta broke them in. What a difference it is making the bike lean now, so much easier. The tires that I took off were on the bike when I got it and they were flat in the center. Now this puppy just tips right over

Don't keep us in suspense - what brand/model of tires did you choose?

Personally, I really like my Michelin PP, but I rode my wife's 600RR with the stock tires on it last Saturday, and they performed pretty well. On the other hand, my wife was on my RR and said that my bike handles much better than hers. Go figure.

my '96 900RR was the same way. The previous owner had Conti's on it. I went with the Diablo Corsa's and saw a world of difference. Felt like a new bike.

new tires can make the bike feel like an entirely new bike, just take it easy for alittle while on the new rubber.
