                I'll try and take a pic with a 220 with a stock tyre to give you an idea. The contact patch is more or less the same coz the sirac is a 120 section tyre.

                  Michelin Sirac Rocks!!!!

                  Done about 380kms since I got the tyre....

                  Now the rev-limiter cuts off at the following speeds thanks to the taller gearing :-

                  1st Gear - 49 kmph
                  2nd Gear - 71 kmph
                  3rd Gear - 100 kmph
                  4th Gear - yet to test

                  I don't remember the stock cut-offs, can some test it put it up?

                  Overall refinement has increased due to the taller gearing. There is no loss in flickability, infact it felt more flickable than a Zapper C shod 220, but that tyre had run 17K so can't really make an exact comparision.

                  Cornering grip is also not compromised, can take corners at almost the same speeds as I used to in the Vyde.

                  Definitely recommended tyre for someone who's majority riding happens outside city limits.

                  Thank you RaviKiran and Satish for doing the running around for getting me the tyre! A treat for you two whenever I ride to Hyd!

                      thats a tough job man... rev limiter in 1st gear .. u are gonna loosen the nuts and bolts soon...
                      i'll try it and post the test results...

                      when u say for someone who drives mostly outside the city, what do u mean exactly? is it not good for city riding? is there a better tyre for city driving?

                      even i have the same problem. but that is due to uneven wear of my almost bald zapper mostly coz of burnouts.. never had a puncture, so no idea.. since u said the bike tends to lean to one side, get the forks and wheels checked for any bend..

                        I don't know about other bikes, but my bike goes a bit psycho if I rev it hard, either it bounces back like rubber bullet to a wall, or it over revs sometimes. These are general readings.

                        1st Gear - Illa
                        2nd Gear - 64 kmph
                        3rd Gear - 94 kmph
                        4th Gear - 119 kmph
                        5th Gear - Haven't reached rev limiter.

                        It might be due to the differential pressure I was telling you about in my tire. Also the cone set as you said.

                        +1. Awesome road grip.

                        I guess ORR is pretty much that only. Jai Sirac.

                            since u got ur tyres puncture fixed , its very obvious that there is ill fitting of Tyre.. remove tyre and put back again..or check for rim bend like how rahul told...should solve the prob...

                                A little enquiry as you people have lot more experience with the 220 . when I start the bike, some times my starter clutch dies and the bike shuts down with a big shudder. then starts again normally.

                                Is this a normal quirk or should I get it checked?

                                Also is it advisable to put r15 tyres on the 220? the 100/80 one in the rear?
