If it were better, why did Suzuki not put it on in the first place?

the rear rim is he same size as an early bandit 600 which used to have a 150 70 17 on as standard so was wondering why the change now the tyre does stick out quite alot from the rim ??????

Becasue the SV is a Bitsa and they had a bandit wheel avialable but limited tyres in the 150 size.

So they stuck a 160 on it. A pinched 160.
