first of all.. if you have already made up your mind why get upset when ppl dont agree.. or even ask the question? validationD Banger said:A 200 will fit, that's not the issue. I am just wondering if anyone has done it on here and can give any feedback to the difference it will make. I have googled a fair bit and even went into (here we go) the Gixxer forum. Majority of people gave negative feedback to the handling of the bike with a 200. What I don't understand is I have bought them from a mate who races a 600cc which has 200's on the back. How come a sponsored professional racer will recommend me this tyre, yet half the internet won't. I am going to put them on no matter what, as the price is just too good. But what I was hoping to hear was someone who has done it and can give some 'real' feedback, not just jump on a bandwagon like everyother forum does.
most supersport tyres arent sticky when cold! i would never recommend using any verision of the supersport tyre for the road.richo said:FWIW, cold 209's aren't sticky. At all.
Totally agree, but compared to say the Supercorsas on Sophie atm the 209's are even slipperyer :/Cerberus said:most supersport tyres arent sticky when cold! i would never recommend using any verision of the supersport tyre for the road.richo said:FWIW, cold 209's aren't sticky. At all.
