[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]This is the 27h Reading Toy Run. This is an annual charity motorcycle ride in Reading - held just before Christmas. It has continued for over the years to attract hundreds, and recently, 1000's of bikers from all aspects of the biking fraternity to join together, mid winter, in bringing gifts and toys to a m
ajor children's charity. These gifts and toys are then distributed by Barnardo's, over the Christmas period to children in many of their centers around southern England. (Please bring along a new toy or gift suitable for a child of any age, preferably un-wrapped and it will be distributed across the South of England and further a field by Barnardo's where it will be valued by a child in their care. Donations of money are also accepted.) The run will proceed to Barnardo's in Wokingham.[/color]

Since I ride in London, I'm always checking the back wheel on the Gen 1 for nails and what have you, and today whilst checking I noticed that I'll be needing a new tyre in a couple of weeks time.
Nothing unusual there, but while I was spinning the wheel, I thought I'd check what profile it is. I know it's a 180 width. And lo and behold, there embossed on the tyre was the legend 160/60!
The dealer must have ordered for a 600 Fazer. [size=78%] [/size][size=78%]Front and rear are Bridgestone 023s.[/size]
So, that's the shock. The embarrassment is that I haven't noticed over 5000 miles that it's the wrong tyre. Except, as it's worn down, I have noticed that the usual flop into a corner you get with a flattened off centre hasn't happened, and it definitely leans over more on the side stand than it does normally. And now I come to think of it, it's felt very agile and chuckable of recent. Hmm. Maybe I have noticed ...
But as far as grip and stability go, er, it's been business as usual. Not that we've had much chance of proper riding this year, what with the weather of course, but there have been one or two days where I've been proper thrashing it. And that v10 M5 was despatched with ease round my favourite corner ..
Anyone else had used a 160/60 on the thou, or noticed any big changes to feel with different widths/profiles etc?
