Also, I don't find the Z6 handling to be as perfectly neutral as the Dunlop
D220's I had on just before. The handling and grip is good, but I find my '00
Sprint ST wants to standup just a little bit. I test this everyday going to
work as I enter the freeway on a cloverleaf.
David, do you mean it stands up when braking in a corner? If so, I'm
surprised as I've found the Metzler's to do this much less than most other tires
I've used (especially Bridgestone). Made a BIG difference with my '01' Speed
Triple. I should mention I'm running a 190/50 on the rear of the Sprint as I
installed taller handlebars and the increased leverage made the bike's initial
turn -in a bit too fast.The 190/50 also gives the bike more straight line
stability on the Interstate. I do allot of riding in the mountains and the
handing has been great. As a side note, I have a 180/55 installed on the rear of
the Speed Triple (stock was a 190/50) and this size seams to be best for the
rear of that bike....go figure!
