Don't MotoGP bikes lay down like 200hp though? They probably need a pretty big contact patch to keep that much power under control.Comment

I think the RC211v is putting down close to 230hp
As for the 190... If the 190/55 was more accessible I'd run one in a heart beat. But I'd stick with my 180/55 over a 190/50 for street/track use.Comment

The Desmosidici puts out a reported 260hp.Don't cha know the Yellow one's are fastest!

Keep in mind that those guys are running 16.5 inch wheels.
It's a totally different set up/profile etc than a 190 or 200/17Comment

Profiles
I read something about this on one of the MotoGP or Superbike sites. They were running some bigger rims but in some instances guys were rolling on 200/60's.

They are limited to 6.25" rims in MotoGP and probably a few other classes as well.
You'll see the 16.5" rim size as a 420 I think. i.e 190/55-420 or something like that."I spent most of my money on Scotch, women and cigarettes. The rest I just wasted"Comment

REad the latest sportrider review/comparison between the rc51, mille and 999.
when they switched from the stock 190 to a 180/55 on the 999, its handling went to crap. it was on a 5.5" wide rear rim though, and ours are 6". not quite sure what to make of this, but found it interesting none the less.<font SIZE="5" COLOR="red"><b><center> ~Alien_Tank </center></b></font>

the only 190 tires i'd use on the track is a 190/55. AFAIK pirelli supercorsas are the only mfr. who makes them in those sizes.AFM #715

I've got Rennsport 190/55 in the RS2 on right now for another upcoming trackday at California Speedway. I changed for more piece of mind in the contact patch and I haven't noticed any change in the turn in speed. Love the Renns! They are expensive though. I will most likely go to the Diablo's next.Comment

Here's what I've been using on 16.5" wheels ..
I tried a 75 aspect ratio this last weekend and couldn't tell a whole lot of difference.

I've been running 190/55 Supercorsa's for my track days. They feel just like a 180 to me. Kinda pricey though..."If you can't solve it otherwise, get violent."
