Johnathan,
You may need to explain this a little more, as my understanding is that a
motorcycle will want to stand up anyway if you apply the front brakes while
cornering. Are you saying that the Shinkos exaggerate this effect?
I would really like to keep using these tyres as they are half the price of
the major brands in this country. So far I like the rear over the 020,
especially for its neutral feel. The front has really gone off in the last thousand
k's or so to the point where I was riding with very little confidence. I've
heard from a lot of people that no longer like Bridgestones, so we'll see.
Brett.
