Hey I forgot about the 200mm tire!
FYI I did get a 200 series rear tire and spoon it on. My initial reaction was mixed but Once I made minor suspension adjustments,I'm very happy with it. It turns in a little slower but it's VERY stable in the corners and confidence inspiring. It may be my imagination but I feel as if I have more traction at intermediate lean angles than before. I like it so much in fact,that a guy on a local board,was selling sets of Pirelli Diablos 120 frt/200 r for $150 and I bought all three sets!

150? u lucky mofo
what susp changes did u make? |
And where are the pics? Im curious if it looks much different from the 190. That and Ive always liked your gix, so its a win win.

I got it for $1200,it needed new brakes,wheel bearings,inner tie rods,both passenger side window regulators,and a fuel pump which I just changed. Other than that it runs and rides good now! Man down south there's TONS of older cars in great shape body wise anyway. http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/DSCF1072.jpg http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/DSCF1073.jpg |
body stays in better condition down here cause we don't have all that freakin salt you nothern boys have in the winter.
nice deal on the tires. |

Oh and to add to my tire confusion...from road surface edge to edge my rear tire is 24 cm or 240 mm and my front is 17 cm or 170 mm. Quick someone measure a 190 tire and let's see the difference! BTW it probably should be a Pirelli Diablo to get a fair measurement. Oh and this is full of air...
|
Don't have a 190... or a metric tape measure
my 180 measures up at 9.125" = 23.2cm = 231.7mm (yes, i rounded up) |

i will say the 180-190 was a differenece on my bike, i could tell it was smaller but then again i can tell when i have a new bug on my bike...
|
to say it looks like shit is retarded. cant tell based on your pics. try a 210, mite like it
some 190's are wider than 200's bcuz of profile. pics are useless props to tig for not blowing up and flippin out lol |

:iagree: I guy I ride with uses Shinkos and his 200 tire looks wider than mine by far. What I really want to know is where the WSB racers got 200s. They don't make the Rossos in a 200. Anyway,I better like the 200 'cause I got 2 more to get thru before I buy something else. After yesterday's MotoGp, I'm really wanting to look at Bridgestone....:leaving: |

In post # 11... I said your bike looks sharp...right ? In post # 13... I posted a picture of an R1 with a 300mm rear tire and said to each their own but that just doesn't look right...THE R1 doesn't look right...NOT your bike !!! See...you look for drama even when there isn't any. :lol: :lol: |

Oh no you don't.... You should reread your post #13,there isn't any pic of a bike with a 300 on/in it. I'm not the only one who thinks you said my bike doesn't look right with the 200. I admit that post #11 said "sharp bike" which made it even more perplexing that you made the comment in post #13. I don't care what you think about my bike good or bad. I just thought it was odd that you would comment on a 5mm difference. If I am mistaken,I sincerely apologize and hope that we can have a better understanding of each other in the future. Have a safe and pleasant riding season! Lon |

no pic in #13 for me either....:idk:
240's look nice sometimes too |
Here is a the picture that is in post #13. Just want to clear things up.
|
well why couldn't we see it? That's weird!!! Oh and thanks! Z, I completely and utterly apologize for this misunderstanding. I can only hope that you'll be able to find the necessary compassion in your heart to forgive me for my transgressions against you.
