I cant understand why people say you cant push off roady styled bikes, you can push them more than you can with road tyres cause at least you can give you more and more feed back from the tyres trying to let go therefore you know where your limits are more often.

Do that on a road with road tyres you will end up completed on the ground before the tyres even think about letting go and by that stage a car with have either wiped you off the road, the fuzz will have pulled you for dangerous driving or you will have chickened out (alot of people its the last one).

Talk about hitting a bullseye!! There's no greater pleasure in life than giving a so-called "SPORTS ROAD BIKE" an experience to remember on a twisty back road.

Ive done it a couple of times on the XT but most stick to what they know best, big open roads were the nearest thing to getting to the chicken strips on there tyres is when they put it on the side stand.

I think most riders think you have to be going 70mph + for your tyres to grip but you'd be surprised at the amount of grip you get at around 10mph+

Hi Steve, I found the r's suspension a little too soft for my liking so I fitted Hagon springs up front. It still rides the bumps well and It feels much more stable under braking. I paid $120 all in. A lot more expensive i know but well worth it

Agree the progessive springs make a big difference.
