Re: hello
Though something like upping from stock 190 to 200 takes away some of the cornering touch of the bike. Many of us with a like for good cornering have gone DOWN two a narrower tyre of 180 & just as long a road life as the wider one.

For looks?
Slightly bigger contact patch?
Because "200" sounds badder than "190"?
But not for better handling. The bike would turn slower; would be less willing to keel over.
