You probably want to go with a 180 in the rear. Give me a call if you need a tire. I sell them for $75.00 mounted and balanced.

stick with the stock size. bike's wheels are designed for a specific width and height tire so when you go changing that, it can really mess with you

Unless you're talking about the Jixer! Mine came with a 190 and turned like shit 'till I switched to 180.

same with the R1. it has a 190 but is much quicker to turn with a 180 in the back. but generally is it a good idea to stay around (preferably AT) the stock tire size, especially if you are unsure

i am not sure if i am going to buy the bike, it is a 1990 and he wants 1500 for it with 30k miles on it, i think it is a little pricey for that year, what do yall think?

offer him 1200
i don't think it is even worth that, it has been laid over, it need the gas tank emptied and it needs a new chain, none of which will be fixed before i would purchase it, sounds like to much work for to much money

To be bruitaly honest...I can't stand Katana's. Not a real sport bike! To everyone who has one, I'm not trying to make anyone cry...just my preference. I've ridden one and I thought it sucked.
