Default Hi to all.

Just joined.
Bought myself a 2003 pointy S,and loving it,Suzuki man throuh and through.
Been riding 30 years, or so.
I do have a couple of questions, if you will indulge me?
It has Bridgestone bt021 tyres on,front and back,loads of tread,recommended pressures,The handling is terrifying, esp in the wet,no grip,in the dry,heavy to turn in and at mild lean angles feels it will crash if i lean over anymore. At least 1 inch chicken strips each side of tyre. The bike is straight,suspension standard but fine. Anyone else had any probs with these particular tyres?
Secondly,why oh why did they make a bike so easy to wheelie, but you can't wheelie for fear of engine damage?

This souds like im slating it,im not,the engine is amazing,looks fab unlike the curvy ones(just kidding curvy owners!)
Got a new top yoke and bars on order (without a doubt the most painful riding position i have endured,probably because im much older than i like to think i am)
Anyway. Hi.
