I have been using my 1125r as my track bike for the last 3 years, have waited to put the 1190 on the track, but I am wanting to get her out there and see what she can do! I use a 190 series Dunlop N-Tec slick rear tire on the 1125, I am considering using a 200 series for the 1190 because of the bigger foot print, I spin up the 1125 on occasion with the 190, thinking a 200 would work a little better on the 1190. Curious what you guys are running and if you have any preference.

Pirrelli only for me , the one and only track day on the 1190 so far, I was useing 200/60 and 120/70 , SC2 and SC1 . I swear by Pirrelli , have tried Q3 Dunlops but didnt like . The profile of Pirrelli suit the feel i like.
One thing ive noticed with the 1190 is they seem to use all of the side of the front tire . I would suggest that a flatter profile brand you would run out of edge grip pretty quick .

You wont find too much difference between the Dunlop 190 and 200. I often use the 190 for track days due to being significantly cheaper than the 200. Dunlop's rock!
