Naked vs fairing bikes: larger tyres?

No, only the Hornet range was that retarded.

My CB1300 has a 180 rear...its a large bike.

My 250 Bandit has a 140 rear.

Apparently Honda put the 180 on the 250 Hornet to make it look bigger. Does the trick until you see the tiny four cylinder engine in the frame.

TL1000 has a fairing and a 190 on the rear.

Most stupid post ever. Basing the argument on one stupid 250.

Nah they just look that way cos of how the proportions go, more plasticy bits make the tyres look smaller. Kind of like trimming your pubes so your cock looks bigger, so I've heard.

CBF250 doesn't have a 180 rear tyre.

CBF250 and Hornet CB250F are completely different bikes, from my experience the only 250 naked that has a 180 rear tyre is the Hornet 250. The only other 250 that I can think of that is similar to the Hornet, the Kawasaki Balius has a 140 rear, all other lesser 250s (YEAH YOU HEARD ME, LESSER 250s, SUCK IT) don't have 180.

I always thought the Hornet had a fat ass, never knew it was a 180.
Jesus.

The tyres on my fully faired "Bandit" look really big. Particularly when I stand really close to look at them.

**BMWST?** · 27th September 2011, 19:59

my gspd has a fairing and has a massive 130 rear tyre!
