Are the wheels different on both katanas?

The wheels are the same for both, you can go to a 150 in the rear, wider will take some modification of the brakearm.

Wheels are the same size ? Hmm , then I wonder why the stock tires are different sizes .... :-k Never even thought about that !

the differance is power the 750 had more power so the engineers felt that the bigger bike needed a wider rear tire for more traction for more power nothign like putting skinny tires on a bike with high horsepower make rolling burnouts fun

I have a pre 98 and went to 120/70 and 150/70 Diablo Stradas. I love them to death. I had some older Metzlers (not the z6 or whatever the new ones are) prior to these and there is a night and day difference. Going up you will notice a difference in how far you lean in your turns but that is an obvious difference some people forget to think of. Anyways, those Strada's supposebly are going to have a great lifespan on them and they have not broke loose on me once in a turn. (i have about 1K on them now)
