Rider preference...the 16.5 creates a different tire contact patch that some riders prefer and works well on some bikes. it also provides a relatively taller sidewall vs a 17" which acts as more 'suspension' at full lean. The 16.5 rear is supposed to provide a good compromise of side grip vs driving traction. All the moto gp bikes run 16.5, as well as the pre-DMG superbikes. In the case of the Buell, I would guess McWilliams prefers the 16.5" as that is what he was coming from in moto-gp back in the 2007 time frame. To me it definitely has a different feel and traction is great, but at my skill level I can't say that it is necessarily better than the 17" front....just different.

Just don't let it get away . . . if there are no takers I might be interested in buying it to archive.
