Thanks Larry (I think)
I think the pair of us'd bore the pants of people if we ever got together for a tach-jaw-session
So ... some more info ...
- there I am running a 180/55 on a 6in on the beast, and a 180/55 on a 5.5 on the 748, snotting them both to the edge at trackdays (well there is about 3mm of chicked strip
) pirelli on one and bridgestone on the other, and I think they both feel pretty similar (once theyre off the centre).
- and on the race bikes I have identical wheels and tyres on the ss and monster and they couldnt feel more different if you tried
Actually, the what I hadnt thought of was the stiffening of the carcass on a wider rim, which must easily make up for the loss of height when heeled over, but make it more prone to slides cos of the reduced contact patch which is what I was thinking about - but the 748 was the one that slid easiest
