Guys,

What's the common thoughts in tyre size for the 17" rear on the Desmo?

Worth getting the 200 (easier to obtain where I live) than the 190? Any known issues running the 200 other than speedo being out?

TIA

Can't help other than to say that there are almost certainly previous discussions about tyres; if you look back through this forum's D16 pages there should be something there.

I think tire performance is more important than 190 vs. 200. The actual width and diameter of the tire varies by manufacturer so go with what you like and don't worry about 2mm here or there.

I have tried them all and this is my number one choice for the street… Get a set of these, It really transforms the bike. I use the 190 rear.

I agree with Sedici.....because you can use those tyres for road (street) and track......Desmo's are such great bikes they need to be used on both track and street....!!
