Not much good having a bike that you can't realy ride as you can't replace the tyres when they wear out.

Same as the 750 Passo and a few others and I believe you're right, which explains why there are a few 17inch wheel conversion happening

However, I think this chap is on to something? http://forums.ducatipaso.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5388

The CBR900RR uses a 16" front and there are still tyres available for them, but they're not common.

I think they were a 130/70/16? Would probably squeeze under a Pasa/Laguna Seca gaurd

Some people already use them, they just space the front guard upwards if they need to, a friends was using them on his 851 back in the nineties

i get told that by my friends in japan now the big 2T are going for silly money there.

i prefer to do what god intended when he built it

ride the thing.

I have similar issues with tyres but i just order them in from Japan.They are still making them.
