FXR150 unsafe?

well Im gonna find out it seems--Im doing a deal trading a fxr in on a car
as i recall skinny tyres are better on dirt roads too

I've also done a few laps of the full Manfeild circuit in very close company to some guy on a ZXR400 with wide wheels, slicks, smooth bores, etc. All this on a little 100cc bike with 1.6" wide rims and little skinny Yokohama slicks. Size does matter but big is not always better. Having said that the bike does now have 2.15" rims but that is just to fit modern tyres which require wider rims. The actual tyre sizes are still almost the same.

sounds like thats one bloody fast bucket. Heck we used to run yoki sprints at about 18 psi -almost rolling off the rims just to get enough heat into em

Back in the good old days! I can go back further than that - Yokohama World Tours or if the budget wasn't a problem then French TT100GPs. You could actually wear them smooth on the edges but have 90% tread still in the middle. I think 75 or 85X18 were the sizes, tiny but STICKY.
