I ain't bought a Haynes manual for 20 odd years. 👍 Got a late nineties fireblade and Triumph triple one if anyone wants em. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe a winner just for the smaller diameter/wider rims, would handle a bit more like what you're used to. On the right road biased tyres!

:thumbup: - I'd be having them if I had an AT I reckon- much more desirable front wheel size and vastly better road tyre choice- means you could fit Dunlop Mutants which are not only brilliant tyres, they look 8-) 8-) too
