I very much prefer the silver engine and wheels.
I even bought the silver wheels for my 2013 from Mr. T and will put them on when the tires need replacing.
I will go to a radial and probably a 150 widt.
Most tire companies recommend a max of 150 on a 4 inch rim.
There is a difference between having a bias or radial tire on a certain size rim.
Metzeler brochures mentions a quarter inch difference in the max rim.
I think that a bias tire can be squeezed on a narrower rim than a radial with less distortion.
I will look into the different tires available for our bikes.
Avons are on my CB1000 and I do like them.
