sorry - je ne sais pas comment dire en francais...alors en anglais

1. In 2010, at the press launch, testers complained of slow turn-in and MV techniciens raised the rear ride height by 3-5mm to improve. Going from a 190/55 to 200/60 has the same net effect
2. since forever, the F4 has one of the most powerful 1000cc stock engines
3. since forever, the F4 has been one of the heaviest sports bikes
4. a 200 rear tire increases the contact patch when leaned over helping grip mid-corner and on the exit...2 points that could suffer slightly due to points 2 and 3.
5. In 2013, the F4 rear tire went to 200/55
5. In 2014, when MV rejoined WSB, their bike had 200/60 rear tire
6. all the club and national racers I have spoken with use the 200/60 rear tire when racing.

If the F4 is not suited for a 200 rear tire - why do all racers use it and why did MV go to a 200 rear in 2013?
