I just replaced tires, and thought about putting 190 in the back...any thoughts?

Slower turn in, odd profile from having mounted a larger tire on a narrower wheel than intended, etc.

It works. It won't be right. But it works.

you dont want to! I run dunlop slick on my race bike and had to steep up to the Buell Racing mag 5.75 rim to do so! the stock rim was not letting me use the full tire ,and it would NOT turning in at high speeds! I thought the bike sucked untill I put the bigger rim on to suport the dunlop slicks!

For normal street use i seriously couldnt fell the difference. Im no track pimp but around town and the occational stunts i could not fell a difference. I was running 190/50. When the 999 came out the 190 tire was an option from the catalogue. That machine only had a 5.5" rim.

We've got a buddy in our group that's been running a 200 for several months now. He's German so that may have a little bit to do with it(ever see their streetfighters). I've not had the chance to take a spin on it to see what I thought. Since I run a 190 on one of my S-1's(the one that see's track time) I'm interested in seeing how it handles.
