            Can,

            if I am not mistaken you ride a 01 R1, I used to have the same one except in red. Do you have a Akra full system on yours or is it a slip on? The bike is excelent but watch out it don't handle too well under pressure and is very unforgiving, mine ended up breaking up into 4 peices after hitting a tree and put me in hospital for about 4 days...

            Put a damper on she can shake things up under hard acceleration....

            Make sure the suspension is set up really well and get rid of the 207s they suck...

                    Well you kind of right on the 207s many people swear by them and some hate them, I hate them... Good choice on the BT014 awsome tires I am currently running the BT012 OE on my blade and they are good all round tyres... But my next change will be the RENSPORT (Metzeler) and will down size the rear to 180 so she turns in faster, down side they dont last long and dont work in the rain... but a good compromise is the BT014 (already made my choice)

                    And dont worry about stealing the thread, like most bike talk it starts somewhere and it always goes in a totally different direction....

                          i looked ath the rennsport but i got a good deal on the BT14s..rennsport, being so sticky and resembling slick tires, i was just worried about using them up quickly and rain..(like you said).a friend of mine moved to a 180 from a 190 and his RC turns much quicker than it used to. have you done any track days with it?? it is always amazing to see a 600 blown away by a litre class bike on the straights only to be overtaken in the turns.
