Re: [ST] Re: 190 rear on Sprint ST



For David:

I've been running a 190 rear on my '99 ST ever since I wore out
the first 180.  The first one was a BT-57ss just like on the Speed
Triple, it worked great!  Next was a D-207 just like most of the
other bikes run.  Did not like it.  It felt unsettled and if mixed with
a Bridgestone front, was down right scary.  Matching to a D-207
front made it much better, but it still felt like there was a reason
to the low sale price.  Currently, I'm running a Bridgestone BT-010
and things are much better.  It should be even better when I get rid
of that D-207 front.

This is likely in the "as if anyone cares" category, but it should answer
David's question.
