What about putting a 190 rear on a R1200S that has the stock 180? Is that an improvement? Is that just a bolt on job? I suppose you have to have the right hugger too or it might not fit.

If we were all the same, there would only be one bike available. In the seventies Kawasaki made fast bikes with rubber frames, Ducati made engines from scrap metal. Bikes have evolved since, and amazingly people have as well (although it isn't always obvious) The point is that everyone has their own ideas of what makes a bike "Ideal". If you have a bike and want to adapt it to suit you, go for it you can only make it different, not an Austin allegro. Manufacturers even make accessories for their own bikes so they must know that their models aren't perfect for everyone.
