While randomly surfing, i came across this article about tyre upsizing for the Kawasaki Ninja 250R. The guy at 2fiddy had posted this

The stock tyre is a 130/70 on 17inch alloy.
One can up size it to 150/70 on the same 17inch alloy

Also, this guy has upsized the front from a 110 to a 120.
Looks cool or not, you decide!!

In the meantime, have a look at the new 150cc bike from Yamaha for India. Yes, India again it is!
