R1200S 180 Vs 190?

Postby Big Tav » Thu May 07, 2015 6:13 pm

Hi guys, does anyone have a pic of these two side by side? I would really like to see the difference the bigger tyre makes.

Thanks.

I just want to see if the 190 makes a big visual difference. If it is minor and hardly noticeable I will just buy a bike. If it looks way better I will wait for a sport.

It's not really that much is it? The thing is that it is meant to come with the Ohlins though.

I just learnt today that yo ucan have the 190 without the Ohlins and vice versa. They are two separate options. I would have got caught by that and thought a bike with Ohlins had the 190.

Yebbut mine has the 6" rim and is fitted with a 180 currently. Works just fine. You have the option of 180 or 190 with the wider rim.
