It's your choice, but I think getting the correct tyre is the best thing to do.

[jbeez_yuall]

Quite right, thanks

Is good to hear from someone else too

Turns out the guys that sold me the tyre were very apologetic, will refund the tyre and return postage and believe they have been sent a batch of incorrect tyres from pirelli.

I'v sourced another tyre, so apart from being a bit inconvenient all should work out ok.

For what its worth I think you are doing the right thing the h rated tyre would have heated up alot quicker and made the rear feel strange and in turn no confidence in handling so good choice:-)

Agreed. The only thing separating your a**e from the tarmac is 2 black hoops of rubber.... why compromise????

The key to speed ratings is not "are you going to do more than 130" but is the bike capable.
There's no way you should run a H rated tyre on a 748. You've done right swapping it. As mentioned above, those contact patches are all that's between you and the tarmac.
