thicker rotors i can understand as the old rotor and the new more powerful calipers on a heavier faster bike spells warpage.further out for cooling is just marketing spin or the gixxer 1000 rotors wouldn,t be 9mm further in.I wonder why they didn,t just fit gixxer triples and longer handle bars.I considered radial calipers in busa triples but didn,t think pushing the rotors further out was a good idea.Its like a small crankshaft on the front axle the wider it is the harder it is to change direction because of gyroscopic force.thats why a twin changes direction easier than a four because the crankshaft is shorter.If from what i,ve heard the wheels are the same weight they would have to be lighter in the rim which helps change of direction as the hub of the front wheel is very wide,looks alright though.When tyres come up for renewal(guido
) it,d be interesting how they steer with a 190/55 rear tyre.They make a big differnce to gen 1,s tip in effort.If only they had the throttle smoothness of a k1200 i,d own one.Best throttle smoothness(zero snatch) of any bike i,ve ridden.small bike throttle confidence, and big bike power.
