Well said bloke, I hardly noticed the 200 on mine, same story goes for people putting shit on long arms. The turbo has a 8" over arm and it keeps up with most through the corners.
I remember a ride up the putty a few years ago stopped at the half way house for a smoke and there was a crowd of hero's on sports bikes there from the bikemetv forum. They all put shit on the drag busa talking shit about how it would be f****d round corners, they would wait 4 me at the end of the road etc. I passed them one by one through the tight stuff and waited for them at the pub near the bridge, not one of them came over to say a word.
In a perfect world on the track a wider tyre or longer arm will affect the bike and slow it down, in the real world it makes no real difference to most of us the way we ride.
