    I have a 200/60/17 Slick Rear and a 120/70/17 Front on my ZX10 Tracker.

    Doesn't leave a lot of room for the Tyre Warmer between the tyre and the swingarm but we manage! :D

    200 perfect on track but on the street, especially on twisty roads, bike loosing agility and you have to put more angle to take the twisty at the same speed, not a good deal.

    Well looks like 200 would be good for track but not so good on road so maybe a 190 will be better
