I guess you don't need a kickstand.

52 horsepower and 42 lb-ft of torque

Rear end looks wonky - nasty Chinese wannabee.....

800cc, 52hp, 42 lb-ft torque and a heavy big wide tire... I know not to expect exhilarating acceleration... but does it move? I guess like an scooter.... good luck turning...

Haha......I also have Yamaha Roadstar Warriot, that originally came with 200 rear, I modified it to accept upto a 260, I initially started with a 240 loved it because the three was a size taller and actually helped with gearing and lowered Rpms, decided to go with a 260 when the 240 wore down changed the whole handling of the bike on curves I would go back to a 240 all day anything more and you give up a lot on performance.

Yes, I tried a 200 or 205 on the rear of my Touring ended up going back to the 190. Edit: 180
