Damn that's a big front. I'm trying to decide between a 80/90-21 or 90/90-21 front. I staying with a 120/80-18 rear. I want to keep the weight down.

I can't imagine sport tires better than these Bi-compound Pirelli diablo Rosso 2 on a light weight Sumo! Also very sticky in the wet with the added silica.

I will 100% put on the same again.
