Hello from SF Bay Area
Hello Ninjette.org
Currently roaming San Francisco on my 2013 Ninja 300 Se I love the look of the bike except for the bicycle size rear tire. My goal is to either max out the bike or get a yamaha r3 depending on the reviews and test ride. But i think the 300 looks better compare the the r25 which i am assuming will be what the r3 will look like. |

Welcome, Eddy. It's not how big your rear tire is, it's how you use it!

Welcome!
 You should learn to love the smaller rear tire. It helps make the bike as nimble as it is!

welcome Supersport!
I had similar feelings with the rear tire on the 250, but found it looks better after putting an obscene number of miles on it. You'll grow to love it

 EddyIf you do not care about gas mileage or handling then there is no reason to not get nice fat rubers for your little girl |

I'm not saying that the tire width insnt helping with the flick-ability. It just doesn't look appealing to me. I went with 120/150 rosso ii and now back at 110/150 rosso ii.
