RE: tire size
If that is the case, stick with the stock size. Im sure Honda dumped alot of money into R&D to figure out what tire size worked best for handling and came up with the one you have. If you have more money than Honda to do your own quest, feel free. Alot of Liter bike riders at the track actually step down from a 190 to 180 to help reduce turn in effort. The 01-02 Gixxer 1000 is the only one that this might not be a good idea on as it has 6in rim as opposed to a 5.5in rim on the new ones.

RE: tire size
My rear is 150/70 and my front is 120/70. I am not very familar with tires, should I move up to a 160? Thats what it sounds like I am hearing. And if so where do people recommend getting tires from? I have been looking online but maybe someone knows a super great place to get some.
thanks,

RE: tire size
Keep in mind that your rim is designed to work with a certain tire, and your steering geometry is designed to work with a certain height and width tire. The stock size is definately best.
Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse is a good place to get tires. Keep in mind that if you bring an ad into your local dealer, a lot of them will match advertised prices, and often have your tire in stock. If you keep your business with a local dealer religiously, it can pay big dividends in your future, I know it does in my store.
Anyway, I just bought a set of Pirelli Diablos for mine (an EXCELLENT choice of tire BTW) for $190 a set.
