Not to be redundant on my previous post, but I find the V rated tires worth it, even though I never approach rated speeds. The higher speed rating results in a higher quality of tire all around, which translates into better handling.
I have not found that V rated tires are any harsher or harder from a ride viewpoint vs. an H rated of the same manufacture. They just seem more responsive to me, with less slop when turning in (the stiffer sidewalls).
Also, I would not characterize the NG900/9~3 as harsh riding unless you change springs. Seems like a fairly good compromise to me in ride vs. handling (and once you upgrade your shocks to Koni's it's even better). I've had harsh riding cars... this isn't one of them in my comparisons, unless you are comparing to a Buick.
