some comments about CBR600 wheels...
- standard tyre size for the 1991 to 1997 CBR600 is 120/60 front and 160/60 rear.
- the later CBR600's (post '94) use a 0.5" wider rim but still use 160/60 tyres so not all 160/60 tyres are the same. The Avon Azaro's have a marking on the sidewalls if they are for 4.5" rims or 5.0" rims.
- The specs of the Honda Hornet 600 state it has a 17xMT5.00 rear wheel and a 180/55 tyre which must be an error. It more likely has a 17xMT6.00 rear wheel.
