I have D220s on my bike right now. I know I they are somewhat capable because I did a trackday on my katana with D205s and got it leaned over pretty far.
But is this kind of tire really sufficent to say, get a knee down? So far I just haven't trusted these tires to do it.
I'm hesitant to do a trackday on this bike with D220s because of the greater power output of the fizzer (I've spun the back out coming out of turns on the street).
Is my lack of confidence founded or do you have to be really really fast to test the limits of sport touring tires?
Maybe someday I should just try a set of sport tires or dot race tires, but I just don't have to money to play around with that.
