It is intended for racing. It is a very tall tire that would require suspension/geometry changes to keep the bike from headshaking.

yeah i have been running them for a while and i can feel they aren't intended for the street. the headshake is definitely there. i slid a month ago when the tires were cold. i think i'm gonna put these tires on the shelf n buy some corsa 3s untill it gets hotter. i kinda like the tippyness of it tho. the bike dips real nice but if its cold there is a little shake to it untill its warm and gooey, lately its been taking longer to warm up and i think the heat cycles have taken their toll

what kind of changes to the suspension shod i make? i have stock suspension. You may need o make the forks flush with the triple trees to make up for the few mms in the rear. You can conversely run more sag in the rear than the front. It's a balancing act. Small changes add up. The bike will steer very quickly, maybe not return to center as easy, and might headshake.
