Why not? John's EX500 has 17" wheels and you can stick a 160 rear tire on it. Its light, bulletproof reliable and simple to work on. I dont see the downside, other than lack of power, but for the first few track days that doesnt matter at all. They're cheap, you can ride it for 6-12 months and sell it for what you paid for it.
