Why all the hassle of changing wheels if you want to use this bike for road riding can you not just change to road tyres on the original wheels
Gotta say the White in motard trim looks great

Because the smaller wheels make for easier maneuvering through traffic

It's more of a hassle changing the tyres than changing the wheels with other tyres on, and you wouldn't get the advantages of having a smaller front wheel.

Also there is no decent rubber available for a 21" front hoop that is also only 3 inches wide. That is the whole idea of motard, using sport bike rim sizes and the great selection of rubber that goes with it.
