Aspect Ratio

[mozzie26]

I have 190/55 Pilot Super Sport on my Gen 1 which is set up more for fun/track days. My Gen 2 has 190/50 Pilot Road 4's and is set up more for long distance touring. The Gen 1 feels so much lighter into corners I would have thought the whole bike was 10-20kg lighter. I weighed both bikes the other week, the Gen 2 was 254kg and Gen 1 was 255kg, my GSXR750 K5 was 192kg. My opinion is the 190/55 profile is better for the twisties and the 190/50 profile is better for straight line stability.
