    I don't like the Dunlop 200 on any bike. It's too flat, and the bike doesn't turn. On the R6, I much preferred a 190 or 200 (except Dunlop) over a 180.

    That makes sense to me... prob why I like the 190 Dunlop then. I don't mind the Bridgies either but need to get used to their front tires... Only had a ridiculously small amount of track time on them but so far, I prefer the Dunlop fronts.

    I didn't mind the 200 too much... at least at my pace it meant I could pretty much whack the throttle and get away with it. Plus bike felt a lot more planted on T1/T8. Terrible at WP though... way too slow from side to side.
