Yeah, not me. I stick to the 180. I have a 190 on my 1098s but that is the stock size.

Stick with the 180, A 200 may fit but will change the tire profile and will change the handling of your RR

What do you expect to get from putting a 200 on rim designed for a 180. You just end up with a tire that's the same width as a 180 but taller and with a profile it wasn't made for.

Well i would like a bigger patch area on the ground, for as a 180 is the the same width as a 200 is wrong thats why one is a 180 and the other a 200 casue it is wider not taller it will be the same height

Key word here is Profile...you wont have the same contact patch on the edge of the tire . Just my two cents

Why go to a 190?

Stick with the proper size for that bike is my noob opinion.

I ordered a set from sportbiketrackgear.com


Depends on your type of riding, I ride mine like an old man (heck I am old!) so I have sport touring tires.
