Tire Upgrade?

I was looking into upgrading my stock tires and was considering a bigger tire and Im curious.. have any of you done this i mean i saw a video on youtube of a guy who put on a Bridgestone Battlax 150 / 70ZR / 17MC... have any of you done this? that would be my ideal tire.. how does it fit? and how does it affect the overall performance of the bike?

heres that youtube video which belongs to ivanrules101:

would it be safer to go with a 140 / 70 / 17?
