SV tyres are normally 120mm; i wouldnt go wider as this might increase the chace of aquaplanning, even if you do have wets fitted...

You'd be better off using the right size road tyres rather than the wrong size wets. A 110 front will sacrifice lean angle, grip and turn in. It's really not worth getting, you'd see little benefit and most likely you'd crash.

i just dont think a 110 is for the bigger bikes 110 would be for an aprilia rs125 the likes of a 250 onwards would be 120.

Nope, why sacrifice though? Go with the 120/70 Pirelli wets.

I meant compromise.....:confused:

Its pretty easy to get the optimal tyre for this bike so I wouldnt bother limiting my choice.
