The MZs and others with the 17" front wheels are super-motard bikes, and I believe you'll find they don't respond to steering inputs on dirt roads as well as a narrow and tall 21..........just take one through a silty corner sometime, you'll see right away what I mean. Front tire in dirt is best to be narrow. Steers better that way. Backroad Bill Been down that ol dirt road befo
