 it's a 130/60, right?  And most people replace it with a 120/70 because that's the 
standard heavyweight superbike tyre.  But I reckon my next tyre might be a 120/60 - I 
have a feeling that the flatter profile might make the machine a bit easier to turn in 
and maybe give more rubber on the road at moderate lean angles;  though I have to say 
that I suspect that what's in the tyre (the bits you can't see) will make a lot more 
difference to the handling than the nominal size.
