Re: 190 ReTirement

I seem to remember some T5 owners saying the bike handled alot better with a 180 rear instead of the 190 - this matches to the original reviews (Superbike in '97) which said it felt it was 'dominated by the rear end' - I never tried this on my Speed Triple so I can't speak for sure, but I prefer the handling on the ST.
