[Ducati] 900 SP tires

[Jim Calandro]

I think the CR has a 4.5" rim.  I also vote for the smaller rear tire the 
power of those bikes will never overwhelm the smaller tires.  One of the 
best mods I ever did to my bike was install a longer shock from a 1999 SS. 
It was a half inch longer and made the bike so much easier to turn.  I rode 
a friends bike with a 1" longer Penske and liked it even more just from the 
turn in point of view.  It was better at over all ride and everything else 
you would expect that is not the point I am trying to make.
