Hello,
I am the proud owner of a 2012 NC700X I bought last Friday (6/7/2019), and then layed it down in my driveway Sunday morning trying to move it around my garage. The bike has 28,000 miles, and besides some general maintenance that needs to be done seems to be in pretty good shape. I was told when I bought it that it needs a new front tire, and so far I have heard great things about the Shinko 705 tires. From my understanding they do not make the stock size for the rear, but do for the front. I would like to get the closest to stock, and am looking for the best bang for my buck since I don't know how much I'll ride the motorcycle yet. I plan on ordering them from Bikebandit, unless someone suggest other wise, and have my local Honda shop install. Is there any reason I should get the 170 rear instead of the 150? I am completely new to the motorcycle world and appreciate any help or suggestions. This is the contents of my cart below;
