Winter Project

well you get the usual pile of experts telling you that the bike will be slower and harder to turn than if it had a 160 on, however I don't hear R6 or Fazer owners, (or litre bike owners if you want to take it a step further) complaining that the bikes are hard to turn.  I know there is more at play that just tyre sizes in how a bike handles, however if you follow the analogy through we are almost getting to the point where we are saying the TDM will turn better than a bike with a bigger tyre. I doubt that very much.  the ducati daivel has something stupid like a 240 section rear, long wheel base and really lazy steering head angle, and that handles great. 

 

I am going to stick my neck out and say it will make sod all difference. That said I still have the original wheel if I want to go back. but I doubt I will.
