it will look better with that mototeck under tail...

The OEM BT56 measures out to 198MM  

Any 200 will fit.

Not all tires measure out the same....but all the 200's will fit.

BT56 just happens to be 198MM not 190MM.

I’m curious does a 200 look that much fatter and doesn’t it slow the cornering ability?

 

[StreetnTrack]

you will notice a 200 over a 190 and yes, it will be a little slow in the corners.

what brand of 200 you are looking for?

 

[BA BUSA]

A 200 does look fatter than a "true" 190....but its not that much wider than the OEM BT56

Most tire manufactures provide tire specs of actual tire dimensions.

A 190 will be easier to get all the way to the edge of the tire than a 200....if your worried about your "chicken strips"  

 go with the 190....if you want the fatter look do the 200....the difference in handling is debatable.

Not on the Avon Azaro's St's. The 200's turn in like a 180. Really.

I cant tell no differance on turnning ability

Try a 210 if you want the look.

do i hear 220 going going........

 

[PImpN]

sure grab a grinder and work on the chain...???

 

[GMbusa]

I heard a BMX chain and a 240 will fit with little mods on the stock arm.

 

[Charlesbusa]

210 or higher will rub the chain.

Is this for riding value or posing value points!?

I mean, the 200 ST Azaro I have really does a good job in turning in but for the twisties the 180 is really the way to go.

I just like the stock look. BUT, I still want to be able to twist it. Anything over the 198 (200) stock is a waste or posing only and potentially dangerous.

Like Charlesbusa said, anything over the 210 and you are running into clearance and proper chain alignment issues.

I see it all the time in NoVa. TONS of bikes with tire wear no more scrubbed over than it would normally lean on the kickstand. So the wide tire look is big there. I've seen some backyard hack jobs to fit stuff.

I have a book here at the house that has a 300 conversion kit for the busa. If you want to go with the big look then go BIG
