I did not know anyone still offered the 130/60. they don't in France. I have been using the 120/70 for 3 years and no problems.

This change is a "no brainer" from a performance, rim compatibility, and availability standpoint. Realistically, if you overcook the static friction available to the 120/70 the ABS will bail you out as long as your are not leaned over. I've done a couple of trackdays, including one in the rain, with the GTS on the 120/70 and it will handle everything you can throw at it....assuming you've bought an appropriate compound. Kevin Hawkins // Greensboro, NC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freecfm.com/r/raddboy Y2K Kawasaki ZRX1100 //'93 Yamaha GTS1000 //'85 FZ750 I've some doubts about this question. Has anybody felt less braking capacity in extreme braking situations, after reducing front tire? Rear tire+handling. When it's said there's same/less handling, I think It should be referred the more useful riding situation. I mean, is this lost of handling felt doing highway ride or twisty mountain roads, both or none? Regards. Pablo.
