That is the same tire size I had on my Aprilia. The bike carved corners beautifully, certainly better than my stock CB did.

Same is true of the Z900RS versus the CB1100. I can lean way over more on the Kawasaki and not feel that the bike is going to climb into the corner or slip. It is made for fast corners! But not as smooth to ride as the Hondas. I still have a couple of mods to do the Z900RS. Remove the excess tubing and add block-off plates, add a fan switch to keep it on in the Hellish summers down here. After today, I am adding an extra horn off the DLX. Almost got hit by a high school kid coming out of the parking lot without even looking, or responding to my too quiet horn. Got pissed and told him to watch where he is f**king going. I know it was bad manners, but when you see your life flash by from some jerk-wad kid, who should not be driving almost hits you, well it was just instinct. Thank God I was going only about 15mph. The Z900RS handled well going off the road, and kept its head. The traction control the bike has worked well too. Glad I had new tires too!

Eventually for everyone is the hope.

When he gets those Angels on his bike, it is "Retired." Unlike some of us who are "retired," the bike keeps rolling on.
