The stock wheel size appears to be the same on these two bikes (2.5in width and 17in diameter) so why is the recommended tire for the 1100 130/90/17 but for the 700 it's 120/90/17? Couldn't the 700 take the 130 width just as well?

Better check swingarm clearance. The 700 wheel can support the wider tire though.Ed

It fits. My 750ES had a 140 mounted on it by the guy before. Wouldn't recommend that though due to pinch1980 GS1000G - Sold

Good. Not a big fan of the tire that's on there now. Might try a Sport Demon. It should last a little longer than they do on the 1100s since the 700 doesn't make nearly the torque.sigpic
