Up-to-date tires, soon?

Last winter Rossi tested a 16" (and not a 16.5") rear tire on his M1 at Sepang... If this size would come back on the tracks... and later on the roads. A dream???

Alain.

Yes, it is "dream". Seems, that nowbody of those big mc manuafactures dont go anymore to 16" tires... Racing world is TOTALLY different, they make there, what ever they want to do... Big moneys, as You know.... Anyway it is very nice, that still can be found those 16" Michelins at least here in Europe for normal price.

Btw, "a dream" ??? ....better say "nightmare"! :laugh:

Gwenadu,
when I'll meet Valentino here in Italy, I'll ask him for a rear 16" tire he's left.

"Frankie"! Better, U ask those Ducati bosses, FROM WHERE, we can find spare parts to our old Ducatis... ... and keep them in streets... (like they MAYBE want???) Or ask, do they want to see old Ducatis in streets at all????

Maahhhh,
I don't think that the Ducati management had a real interest to make and sell spare parts for our bikes.
I guess they want to sell new bikes.
So, we have to do the best one can.
For the 907 it's a little bit easier, but for 750
