Re: Tire size -- How does it effect ride?
Or just get an SV1000. It comes with a 180 rear as standard. Add a tail-tidy and a hugger and you end up looking like you're just sitting on a big fat tyre

180 take-offs are more plentiful than 160, if you fit your own tyres... That's one minor consideration, I reckon I'll save more in a year on tyres than it costs to set up the rear wheel. Unfortunately, SV rears don't fetch a very good price.
