....and the pillion, resurface required? Rolleyes

Indeed if you want to use a 160 instead of the stock 140 it will be wide and flat in comparison as mentioned above, it is 160/60 where the stock tyres are 140/70 so while the shape of the tyre will be different, the outer diameter will be similar.
Thus, for the same speed in corners more lean angle is needed, and with the wide and low tyre your ride comfort is likely somewhat worse than with stock tyres.
