And Mr.Mike... loved your comment. True that a siftail was not designed for road racing.
But if you' e spent enough time on a course or two for a few years. You learn to get by on a vespa if you had to.
You know (;

Is this tongue-in-cheek, or are you really this much of a douchewhistle?

You will get better lean angle by switching tire width if you're happy with the height of the bike and want to leave it as is
