Best not say that to our friends across the pond though. Apparently 120/70 on the SV is a God send

It's all moot anyways

as most of the riders that have changed to a 120/70 don't seem to have notice any difference.

I still reckon you're blaming the size for problems you're getting off the shape- if you take 2 like tyres in 70 and 60, they tend to have pretty similiar shapes... The 70's taller of course, but they keep the same characteristics. You're comparing a pointy 70 with a round-shouldered 60, maybe if you try a round 70 (020, Roadtec, Strada) you'd find your problems stop?
