I have a 120/70R17 front tire on mine, and it works just fine. My speedo isn't off at all. I don't know if it noticeably hurts your handling any or not, as it was on there when I got the bike. my2cents

i could tell the difference in handling when i switched from a 120/70 back to a 110/70, but you can run them with no problems

My bike came with a 120 front and the first thing I did was take it to the track. I don't think it made too much of a difference on the track, so you should be okay just on the street.
