Anyone tried 19" front wheel?

Hello,

Does anyone tried to adapt a 19" front wheel with road tyres?

just like an Africa Twin or a suzuki V-strom SE

This should give a better behaviour on road journeys passing 120km/h

Most go with the 17" for strictly road use.

Hi, yes i've seen this allready but it is a bit too much for me . My wife has a MT07 and that what i would take if i don t what to go offroad.

I think that yamaha should have use a 19" front wheel for the explore édition because they lowered the bike without a better road behaviour, keeping the 21.

Suzuki 800SE, triumph tiger gt, AFTwin sport adventure, they have 19 wheels after 21 offroad models .

The riding position is good for my 193cm and i m not an extrem offroad rider, so a bit of ground clearance for gravel roads will be ok for me
