The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Because a bike making 190hp with TKCs is asinine.

120/70 and 180/55 totally fit those wheels.

And that is all a lie! Click on the PDF and you will see they don't really exist.  They are listed as out of stock on all the tire sites I checked.

Yeahbut. . . 190hp = no more knobbies.  A rubbery spray of material formerly known as tire would be blowing off the rear wheel. . . . .

I'm not really arguing the sense of putting TKCs on the bike that is the topic of the thread... I am jacking it to lament the fact that those tires, were they actually available instead of mere unobtainium, would negate my "lack of a dirtbike" problem... because they are the same size as the S2R.

/threadjack/

If the topical bike made any sense other than as an exercise in how badass one can make a bike look, the rearsets would have moved down, forward, and become wide enough to stand on.  [cheeky]  The rest of it I can forgive.... like dating a really high end stripper (or an actress): you know she makes no practical sense and is leading you someplace that will really hurt, but you don't care because the ride is so much fun.
