WIDE REAR END? R1 R6 ?

Can I ask the question Why?

If it's for appearances sake, then fine, but I'm intrigued by the suggestion that the tyre / wheel size is more important than handling. I wondered what's the ultimate goal here or what the end purpose of the bike is?

^^ wot he said

Another swingarm with a 180 or 190 tyre I can understand, also riding handling is not a problem then.
But just a TRX for the 'looks' (certainly with the idea of moving the engine) and not for riding qualities .... not my cup of thea

I'll look forward to it.

Even if I have no idea what it is.
