Well I decided I would give the 180/55 a try on the ole R1. I have always run stock 190/50 cause it was what came on the bike. This time around I gave it a try. :up:
Im satisfied with the results. Took it out to SCR after I got them on and had a blast. After a bout 5 laps in the heat they were hot and ready to rock. Ill admit in the reg turns I didnt notice much difference, but in the tight stuff and the S turns...........Very satisfied with the change. More nimble for sure. Only lost it out from me 1 time coming up the hill into house turn. Gave her to much throtltl to early and broke it loooooose. After some wobble she settled in and had a good day.
I know most of U probably run 180's anyway, but if you were thinking about going down from the 190 stock to a 180.........do it!!!!
I will say its not for the bling blingers cause it looks tiny when sitting next to a stock but for the racer and or performance rider its a good move to make.
Now if I can get a dollar from each of U so I can get some race tires on there Ill be good to go. If U feel like giving more I wont hate U!!! :lol:
