Slapped my Q3's on there last night and she is ready for track day on Saturday. Went for a test ride and holy cow are these tires sticky!

Front is a standard 120/70 size
Rear is a 180/55.

Stock the rear is suppose to be a 170 but a 180 fits and it changes the turn in a little. Wider rear feels a lot more stable and I feel like it grips more(perhaps the sticky Q3) as I have more of a contact patch when cornering(I will really know on Saturday). It's definitely got a more sport bike feel with these tires.

The engine is an L twin!
