My first bike is a yamaha r1 2008 and I ben riding all day and it's amazing what are good street tire?

Question

I have my license and I already taking the msf course and waiting on my power programer, fork stablizer push button shifter and my "two brothers exhaust"but I know if u don't have a good set of tires that stuff means nothing

Answer 1

how much do you want for the engine after you crash it?

Answer 2

The tires on the bike will be fine. Your riding skills will be far inferior to the capabilities of the tires and the bike for a long time to come.

Answer 3

Spend the money on a track day.  The stock tires are fine, as are the stock shifter, exhaust, and fuel injection.  The R1 makes what, 140 hp stock?  It's your first bike.  Learn to ride first, live with the bike a little, and then, maybe, start making mods.

Answer 4

Yeah thats what you need is some better rubber

I would go with a crash cage and some leathers

If your tires aren't worn to the edge you are a squid

Only 140 hp on a R1 ???????????????

WTF?

Answer 5

can I just ask why you need all that extra c**p on a bike you already can't handle?  over-compensating for something are we?

by the way I like how you put quotations on two brothers exhaust for no reason

Answer 6

Dude, if that's your 1st bike please be careful, they have a name for guy's like you it's called a STATISTIC. That is most likely way more bike than you will be able to handle.  That being said i'm not trying to be a hater, just be careful, the more grease spot's (rider's crashed) on the road the more they regulate the rest of us. If you & your bike end up needing tire's try the michelin pilot's.   RIDE SAFE !!!

Answer 7

And did you have tires sizes you want, at all?

Because the limitation of tire sizes is that they never seem to stock the size tires you need.

Tubeless, or Tube type?  Radial or bias ply? Load capacity?  Speed rated to what max speed?
