hi paul, i looked into getting smaller road wheels for my XT600E to turn it into a `supermotard` style bike.this would involve a wider back wheel and 17" front,so sticky road tyres can be fitted.i didnt in the end because;1. you can now get good road tyres for 21" wheels(Avon, Metzeler etc).2. offroad bikes have large diameter/skinny wheels for good reasons.small wheels dig into holes and ruts better than big wheels,and skinny wheels steer in thick mud better than wide ones, which get clogged with mud and start skidding everywhere.
