Yep, and those big fat rear MC tires affect the geometry of a bike in the corners much the same way as a CT does.
Once you wrap your mind around 'why' the bike handles different with a CT, the changes in geometry, the under-steer it creates, eh, well they don't look so 'appealing' after all. Of course, if you drive in a straight line most of the time, you'll might not mind the trade-off.
Draggin pegs more, wearing out front tires quicker than before,,,, Some say this is '100% proof' they are going faster,,,
Uh, if you REALLY think that's the 'cause/effect', more power to ya!!!.
I've said it 100 times, I never knew how much I missed a MT till I went back to one.
I really don't care about the cost/mileage. (Over $1200 for 4 tires on my RAM that should last 60k+,,, About the same as 2 tires totaling $320 lasting for ~15k~)
I understand the difference in sidewall/tire construction, and why the cushy ride isn't there, but that same difference provides a 'surgical precision' in cornering that can't be beat.
But hey,,, everyone can equip their bike as they want.
