I run 150 and I love it (minus the huge chicken strips) its much more stable. For example, there's a bridge that connects long beach to san pedro and there are grooves on those two bridges. On stock tires, when I go over the bridge and over those grooves, the bike is basically being told where to go depending on those grooves which is a little annoying and scary. After I got the 150 tire, I went right over them without any movement. Plus I feel a lot more confident leaning over. You'll be fine with a 140 with stock rim if I can fit a 150. I received a lot of crap from people about the tire size but it feels good to me.. knee drag without any problems and can still flick it around. Plus my tire (battlax hypersport s20) is more round than stock so it helps go into the corners a lot faster and harder. Good luck man.
