How does it ride? Well it has a 3/4" higher seat and this does seem to make the feel a little taller. The basic ride is the same, but over 40 mph you will notice a bit more stability, probably caused by greater gyroscopic forces in the wheels (greater rotating mass). The steering is completly neutral, no pull into or out of a turn. The 110's on my bike had a very slight pull into a turn and had to be steered out, the 130's just seem balanced. The speedo now seems to tell the truth instead of reading higher than the true speed with the 110's. The greater diameter on the rear tire (140/90-15) is equivelent to a 15-1/2 tooth drive sprokett. The over all look of the bike is that of a full size MC instead of the 90% scale MC with the original tire sizes. I like the GZ 250 "Fat Boy" for both ride and looks. It might not be to everyone's taste, but some may like it. --Dan--
