    Anyway, my opinion would always be biased, it'd be a better idea to seek an opinion from people who have used M45 in the past. Mind you, be aware of perceptions where people have an opinion from hearsay. It's best to count opinions where people have themselves used a product.
    Alrighty.. but can you please confirm if the price quoted 1250 INR is correct.. ??

          I believe Nirav was trying to point out the front heavy nature of the 200 and I think it is partly true. For sure the 200 is much more front heavier than the 220. I have edited my last post, check it out. But like I said, I took the bike on some twists and turns and I was pretty comfortable. On a 200 it is VERY much necessary to change the front tyres as well because there is quite a bit of weight taken by the front tyre. More so now because of the 1.2cms increase in height.

          I tried Sirac but was never comfortable due to tall gearing and raised height from the rear.....

            So probably this is the reason why you returned the tyre or was it because needed a Tubeless tyre ?

                  The Dealer name is Siremull Hirachand. You could speak to Deepak who's the owner and a good friend.

                  Tyres are meant for pure city use with emphasis on providing good wet and dry grip levels.

                  • Just got meself a set of IRC's, tube type..

                    3.00" Section front = 1086/-
                    110/90 Section reat = 1800/-

                    bargained some 100 bucks off
                    A man's testosterone level is directly proportional to bhp that he's using on his motorcycle.

                      That's good info. Was trying to find an image of this model to see how the thread pattern is. Do you have any?

                        I could put on an image if you can guide me how to.

                        The tyre would have been sold out in Chennai because it was for testing purpose only.

Still the threads are good but corners have become uneven so i don't feel confident sometimes. So want to change it. One more thing can we do alignment and balancing for bikes. it wobbles while braking hard. i doubt it is because of tyre or alignment.
                          waiting for some reply. guys please help

                            If Sirac was a TL I would have not had a problem to stick to Sirac. I had problems to move from RX to Shogun and ZMR to P200 its a matter of time u c....
