Make up your own mind, some say the 60 profile quickens the steering, the fast boys recon the 70 feels better at full lean. Fact is they both fit but the 120/60 is the official tyre. I dont think there are that many people who are actually good enough to tell. My neighbour has tried both and say's its down to rider preference. 60=nervous 70=stable(slightly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
