I'm glad to see that 16" is a common enough size in the scooter market. I hadn't thought of them, but there is quite a selection of performance tires there. It's fortunate too as our 16" first-gen wheels are getting rare and the 17" new-gen retrofit looks wrong to me.
Not to mention, going narrower is way cool to me. My main bike is an SV650 and so many kids who get one as their first bike want to make it look like a supersport by fitting a 180 rear tire. What a pointless effort; they just make the bike turn slower and the 160 gives you all the cross-section you need for the lean that bike can reach. I can't wait to get ripping on Palomar or Ortega with this 250 and a 120 rear should be fun with all the Ducatis and R1s.
