I am with you BMG....the bike was designed for a 160...more specifically the rim was designed for a 160. But an F2 is a light bike. I have never felt the need for a larger tire performance-wise. Maybe it would look cooler with a fatter rear tire, but I don't think it's worth changing the tire profile and reducing the tire's performance and wear-resistance. That's where I weigh in.

I also think the stock tire size is best.

That's what the bike was designedto use. Why mess with perfection?

same here - sorry guys but I just don't get the tire thing. 160 isstock for the F2. If Honda thought it needed a 180 then it would be stock.
