Comment:
1, to initiate a lean, a mild hanging-out is already good enough. a persistent countersteering will make me feel the tail running wide off my way abruptly. 2, quite responsive when opening the throttle after reaching the apex. 3, the rubber becomes, apparently, less ductile after aggressive riding in hot sunshine Sundays despite the required grip is still available. 4, performace is limited to its 50% or below in wet conditions. Sportbikes become scooters in humid and misty days. 5, Michelin makes a good blend of durability and sports performance, easy to put the tyres and the biker in sport mode.
