WARPO,
I be talking both IF I went with some light weight wheels.
If I could find a 17" rear wheel assembly compatible with my 2012 R3R, I'd go for it and retain the OEM front wheel.
Do you know of one???????????????

I dont see any advantage trying to run 17 inch sportbike tires the big ROCKET will chew them up
 
Yeah, that's a heavy bike, make sure they are rated for the weight.
 
Size doesn't matter 16,17,18,20 as long as their rated for the weight and the compound isn't gum they'll take it just fine.

One 17" that springs to mind as perfectly suited upgrade is Pilot Road 2,3,4. Multi compound that is hard down the middle, by hard I mean hard for a sportbike, and soft on the shoulder with vastly superior grip wet or dry to anything offered for the R3. They don't make it our size, but it's an example of a tire that would be a perfect match to R3s.

I have 18 inch BST WHEELS on that bike and the tires I mentioned I run METZLERS on my CARPENTER MODDED 2012 ROADSTER and we run METZLERS on all the modded Rockets on the DRAGSTRIP
