I have changed out a lot of tires on different bikes, I've never noticed such a big change in performance. yea, there that good. If you like to ride spirited, the transitions on these are so much better than stock. Turn it is very neutral but the amazing part is the transition to the other side, the bike just jumps right up to you. If you have ever ridden a GSX-R 750 you know what I'm talking about. Its not in the same class but has the same feel. The bike gives you more confidence. I almost wanted to go home and change leathers to my knee pucks

General riding the tires are softer and less vibs on the hands. Ride them slow or hard they just feel better, not to mention they look great.

I would highly recommend these tire.

Edit: There is no pushing out of corners from the wider rear.

Turbo, Hmmm maybe 160-180 HP Where would you put it it may stand out a bit

Lola,
The Michelin's are a good match. You'll notice a difference soon as you put them on. I saved my old tires to lay my new ones on for the ride home. The rear is rock hard, feels like there is still 20lbs of air after its dismounted.

What pressure are you running in the new tires. I ran 36 front and 42 rear in the Pilots on my Guzzi which weighs about the same as the CB1100.
