When I purchased the bike had to do a few things to the fuel/intake system to get it running right, so replaced the tires with a MT75 set, too.

Did not ride twistys with the 130/80/16 rear. Can only speak to riding twistys with a 120/80/16 on the rear.

Have been riding heavier bikes (425lbs+) on twistys/sweepers and felt like I could carry more speed "into" the curves with the Ninja 250. MT75 tires are sticky.

I weigh in at 220lbs. Was happy with Pirelli MT75 tires handling and $132 for a set delivered.
