Hope someone here can educate me. I decided to try some race take offs on my VFR800 - I bought a couple sets of Michelin Power Race's. The size was identical to my sport-touring tires, 180/55/17, however they are way taller - the bike feels at least an inch taller than before.
The handling is killer, being on my toes at lights not so much. Before I take steps to lower the bike, are all race tires taller than the same size street tires or is this just a Power Race thing? any input appreciated
