190 for 6 inch.  I had 190 50 on 6 inch for rc51 stock.  I went with 55.  Bike handles better with 55.  For vfr800 stock 180.  Also the tire might rub against the chain with 190.  If you want the widest tire go to each manufacturer's web site and see how wide each 180 tire is.  Not all 180 tires are 180 some larger some smaller.

The main difference between a 180/55 and a 190/50 is profile and
diameter... the 180 is bigger in diameter and sharper in profile...
the change in geometry is as follows... going from a 190 to a 180
means rake is steepen and trail is shorten which lowers the steering
effort... whereas going from a 180 to a 190 means rake is extended and
trail is added which adds to the steering effort...

 

Diameter...

190/50/17=24.480 621mm

180/55/17=24.795 629mm

Well within an  hour I had sent in a pic of the wrong tire got rma and shipping label and was on my way to UPS.  

Three weeks later and I how have my set of tires and another set I had to buy to ride on in the mean time. Won\'t be on the Dunlops for another  6k when the T30s wear out.
