...Thank you to all that answered the "Possible new owner" entry.
Your advise is well taken, and I should say, the best I had in any inquiry.
There's only one 906 in France and no 907s.
What's the problem with the 16 incher? Handling or availability of tires?

The problem is that the 16" tires for the Pasos 750/906 (130/60 front and 160/60 rear) are no longer built.
The only one producer was Michelin and the last year of the production of those tires was 2004.
So, someone try fitting some different 16" tires, 130/70 front, fitted on first Hondas CBR 900 RR and Hornet and 150/80 or 180/60 on the rear side.
Someone fit 17" rims.

150/80 is no reasonable option. That size is simply not made for that rim width

[hardo]

did I get that right:

130/70 ZR 16 are possible (modifications are necessary regarding the friont fender)

and the rear wheel

160/70 ZR 16 (are such wheels avaiable on the market?)

or

180//60 ZR 16

are these tires available from the same company and profile?

Thanks su much for the infos and sorry for the confusion, Hardo

[paso750]

130/70 ZR 16 are possible (modifications are necessary regarding the front fender)

yes, simply raise the front fender by a few mm

160/70 ZR 16 (are such wheels avaiable on the market?)

yes, the Metzeler ME 1 CompK, but I`m not sure if that`s discontinued also. That`s not a commonly used size.

are these tires available from the same company and profile?

read other threads, man yes Avon has a 130/70 and 180/60-16. (Av45 + Av72)
