Because the current control tyre is a race tyre designed for use on 4.5 inch rim for bikes capable of a maximum of 130mph.

My 800S2R has a 5.5 inch rim and can do over 130mph and constant road use would square off the control tyre in a very short time. Hence I use a 180 z rated road tyre on my 800
