Not all cars are massively heavy either, mine's only 450kg, with four decent contact patches on the road. I'll be unhappy if i'm forced to not use R888 tyres, they may not be the best tyre for year round use but for a summer toy they're perfect!
they work very well i had them on my r1! never locked the front wheel when braking plus bike tyres have been like that for a very long time so meet legal requirements also when a bike brakes hard all the weight is on the front wheel so there is a lot of grip and i havent even started on bikes with abs
