How wide are your wheels?... that will dictate tire choices. Bigger is
NOT better; as already mentioned, going wider for "looks" is a good way to detune your bike's nice steering and response.

No need for a 120.
The narrower the tyre, the more it pisses off sports bike riders.  |
Take a look at the the fitment charts for Michelin Pilot Activs. I've been using them on a similar bike; they handle very nicely dry or wet (but do
NOT work in snow), are available in skinny sizes, and are about $180.00 a set.
