I had a car tire on my vtx 1800, and now on my r3r. The tire can still corner more than the bike. Also the tire's tread never leaves the pavement, even while folding the pegs in a corner. The sidewall flexes and still has a better contact patch than with a mc tire..
With all that said: Here's a pic of me and the wife chasing my son on the dragon. Picture worth a thousand words.

Me too. Much more confident. Know it won't lock up so quick under brakes. Regularly ground footpegs despite moving them up. Never had one slip in the rain. Fellow following me one way said the spray off the tyre reminded him of following a Mack truck.

You can check the pegs on most any darkside R3 and you will see peg wear. About 40 percent of all Rockets at RAA events are darkside.
