Uhhh. too small....but it might actually make your bike handle better (if you get a 4th gen rear rim)! Tire sizing in most of the newest bikes have been influenced more by bike fashion than engineering. You now have bikes that are way over-tired, like some recent Ducati Monsters with 190's (But the new S4R Testastretta can probably handle it) and silly custom choppers with even bigger tires that look silly when you read thier power outputs. JMO. Anyway, you shouldn't use the 160 cause your 5th gen rear rim is too wide. Beck 95 VFR with a puny, girly-man sized 170 section Dunlop.
