Remember when i started riding big bikes a rear tyre would be the width of a front tyre on today's bikes.

Most sports bikes seem to run 180/190 rears these days,think Ducati run a 200?.

Do you think they have reached the limit?.can you really go wider than 200 on a sports bike and still get it to handle?.


I think handling is compromised with a 200. My ZX12R runs a 200 on the rear and it definitely makes it hard work tipping into a corner, looks mean though.
