As you probably already read in previous threads I now have a cbr600f '11.
Wel, now I rode it in and I'm now doing the more serious corners in my neighborhood. And I'm now talking specifically about highway corners. On my fz6 I always had sport-touring tires like the bt 21 and dunlop roadsmart. In those high speed corners I never really had trust in my tyre's. But now with my new bike I suddenly do have a lot of trust on the edge of my tyres at high speeds.(more than 100km/h) It appears that my new bike has bt-12's. And the difference is night and day. I always thought that sportstyres were nothing for me because I was a bit afraid of the shape of it. Sportstyres seem to have a shape which makes you kind of a fall in to the corner. Well, now with those tyres everything just changes. The bike feels super stable in the corners and my chickenstripes are almost completely gone. On my previous tyres there always remained that last part which I couldn't get off.
So no more sport-touring tyres for me.
