Just saying, LOVE LOVE LOVE MC garage. If you are in anyway shape or form interested in the mechanics of motorcycles, it will do you good to watch a few episodes of this and see what you pick up.

Skinny tires make your bike feel real lively at speed.

yea. I knida wanted to go to a 180 rear on my SV (160 stock) as I would actually lose weight even with the wider tire (stock SV wheels are HORRIBLY heavy) and Id go to a GSX-R wheel

after watching this, I’m not so sure anymore.

When I had my SV I was thinking about tsping the same thing. Ultimately I felt it would detract from what makes the SV so good- its flickability.
