    Because it's harder to kill yourself on a cruiser...

    See:

    http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/mcy/2201913148.html

    then ask yourself why.....

    I, personally, am a fan about the reasoning for the 200 tire.

    0 to 60 in 2.2 seconds. That makes it the fastest street motorcycle in the world. No wonder he needs that 200 tire in the rear. Anything narrower would simply shred from all that acceleration.

    At least he realized that he doesn't have enough self control for the bike.

    only cuz the rev limiter kicks in. That's classic.

    Now I wished I would have wrote it down but my last trip to the dyno was 120 or 140 in 4th, but that's just cuz the rev limiter kicked in.

    I dont see how what vehicle he operates is a factor in his lack of self control. Only the method of conveyance will change, not the certainty of destruction.

    He's got too much daredevil in him and almost wrecked at 130 mph, yet has picture of himself in full leathers that was taken at a track paddock...

    Back in my racing days, I tried a GP-A 190/55 on my R1 and it rubbed on the front of the swing arm and almost touched the sides as well. How did he get a 200 on there?!?
