Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Pirelli Diablo 190-50-17- Yamaha FZ1 4,000 miles August 1, 2019
Had these tyres on my Cb650f and loved them so put a set on my FZ1N prior to touring Europe, they've been fanatastic, once they're hot they provide mountains of grip, and not bad in the wet either
Managed to get 4100 miles out of the rear before the cords were showing, that was 4000 odd miles of spirited riding fully loaded with luggage however.

Michelin Power RS 190-50-17- Yamaha FZ1 2,000 miles October 24, 2017
Without a shadow of doubt, the best tyres ive ever had, i run them on a 2008 FZ1N which is heavily tuned and geared for racing. They are outstanding in dry conditions and i can feel them moving around, my talent runs out way before the tyre does.

Ive done several track days on them and lots of fast road riding too, ive never had a scare on them.

Just make sure you warm them up as theyre not great when cold or in wet conditions.

I wont buy anything else for the forseeable future, theyre that good!

Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa 190-55-17- Yamaha FZ1 2,000 miles June 25, 2012
I drive this tire for the second time. The rear last 3300 km and the front has not spent up to half. This is the only weakness, but otherwise the rest things about it I'm 100% satisfied.
