Depending on what type of riding you are planning on doing, mostly street riding and doing some street racing here & there...stick to 200 that came with the bike, not only it looks meaner it works well....but if you are doing some track riding and some twisties everyone swears by 190 tire in the back......so the choice is yours to make my friend. 190 is a popular tire and you can get them cheap anywhere since almost 50% or more of the sport bikes use it so you want to keep that in consideration also....not that you can't find 200 for cheap but 190's are easier to find :king:

As for me I stick to 200, I do some twisties, some street dragging and love the looks of that FAT tire in the back.....currently I am using SuperMaxxis, my next tire is Shinko Raven 009 :evil:

Like someone said it before, when you ask about tire size things can get crazy, but most of the folks here are way too cool and know each other pretty well where we respect each other and you will get honest answers and opinions :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

If that is how you feel and what you like, more power to you.....the bike came with 200 and been working very well for me so I am sticking to 200....tire doesn't make the bike go faster for street riding like upgrading exhaust, PCIII, air filter, stacks, timing advance module, etc.....

not a fair statement on what you said about " I doubt if you'll ever see Hayden, Rossi, or Pedrosa running a 200/50..." They have track bikes and as everyone knows 200 size is not made for track or twisties....:banghead: I bet you give them our bikes and they will and can ride just as good....they are pros and they can ride any kind of bike....those track bikes are specially made for track.....:loco:
