				Yep I'm running a 190 and sometimes a 195 on a ZX6 tracky. 
Get on board no way would I run a 180 on a 12/14.....
Yep 200s seem to be the rage on the 600s these days and those boys are going a whole lot faster than me so I ain't arguing.....

i can't lean my bike any further over scrape pegs knees boots and the 180.55 has more than enough grip

				200's on a zx6 5.5inch rim are the bomb but the belly pans and gear level tend to suffer

No one said you were wrong it was just mentioned that it turns slower that's all. 
Oh and a q2 rear won't last long on the 14, great tyre just no life out if the rear
