I agreed with the sentiments expressed by "Gregjet" on 03/04/2015. I have always felt that Yamaha have opted for style over function with the big fat tyres fitted to the MT-07. I think the bike would feel much more nimble if narrowed tyres were fitted.
Even on the original rims, it might be possible to fit the next smaller width size without altering the overall circumferences too much or the ride heights and rake angles. Would 170/60/17 happily replace the 180/55/17 rear and a 110/70/17 on the front instead of 120/70/17. Does any tyre manufacturer make such a size?
Has anyone been brave enough to try this? I would be interested in your views.
