      Why do you want to go for duke's tyre?? Its the same compound as our stock one. So you wont feel any difference in grip levels. Maybe a very slight difference. Btw does the size differ??

      Edit : woo!! its way too large 150/60 compared to 130/70. Take care, my friend had lean sensor problem when he switched to cbr 250 tyres. It killed the engine twice when leaning which is highly risky. Later found,lean sensors are calibrated taking into account various factors such as tyre size... Etc.

        Yup the compound is same and both tires belong to the Revz family. Just want to know the user review and if it does only good things why not to go for it. After cutting rear tire hugger, tire is looking a bit skinny.

              i know you have just asked the review n all. But please dont do it, you will compromise a lot on handling. thats a difference of 20mm we are talking about. the ratio of front:rear changes. i know the V1 rear can be compared to V2 rear tyre, i have seen people saying that the v1 sticks to the road better then v2.

                I brought steel braided front lines of the P220 for my R boy.(or maybe Girl :P)
                Will install is ASAP.
                Once done, Will post a detailed review including the length of both the cables and the changes in braking.

                      Skinny? R15 V2 is already over-tyred!

                      Though it will be interesting to know the difference in handling w.r.t. stock tyre (i expect it to be worse).

                        I too feel that stock tuning of parts from YAMAHA is unbeatable but whats wrong is asking for opinions and experiences

                          Even if you get the mrf revz-c which is only 2cm wider than the stock tyre its not make much difference.
                          You'll notice slight increase in fuel consumption,conering will improve but bike will be less flicky in traffic
                          Which is really a pain. (130 to 150 isn't gonna make a hell of difference in any aspect even in looks)
