Re: Tyres
It will probably feel better than the std 60 profile tyre.
I've currently got a 60 on one bike and a 70 on the other, and the 70 definitely feels better to me.
Almost all new bikes run 70 profile. The 60's were a bit of a Japan market fad and they feel like they tip over when cornering.
Your speedo will read approx 3% low with the 70, so take care near speed cameras.
