sure tyres are uber important, but, if ya technique is invisable, rossi developed race tyres arent gunna keep you up.
technique ie skills, is what enables someone to ring the ti.ts off their bike, then when they need to push to and beyond its maxx, they choose race bred tyres.

Money spent on upgraded suspension is money wasted at this piont in your career. But you can't honestly hang aftermarket suspension company stickers on your forks if they are stock, can you? And that's what you really want.
I'll double that Grand on your ability to use your stock brakes to thier potential. You can't. Don't be upset, 99.9999% of all the other riders you see out there and in ads and whose words you seem to reguard as Divine and Holy can't either. More wasted money. Nice and shiny though......
And I'll triple it over tires. Confidence? You want confidence, learn how to use the already awesome street rubber you have. Learn the limits it has, how to ride well enought to reach them, and how to compensate and correct when you do surpass them. Race tires are not going to do you a dam bit of good if you can't use all of your street rubber.
That SV... remember the bike this thread was about before you started yippin'???.... is more bike than you can use right now. Throwing wads of cash at your bike is only egocentric masturbation on your part. Put that thing back in your pants, no one here wants to see it.
Goodbye.
+1. Your bike is a very capable bike, it is fast, has good suspension and brakes and tires, you cant use what you have to its potential so what good is it going to do it upgrade? That SV is definatly more than you can handle, hell your bike is probably to much. When you have your bike mastered and are riding it to its limit, then you should think about upgrades.
