Why do Supermotos have small wheels?

What kind of rear wheel do you need for a Harley Fatboy?
As far as the rear wheel, you can do either a 17 x 6.25 rear wheel with a 200 tire or a 18 x 5.5 rear wheel with a 180/55-18 or 200/50-17 tire. We recommend the 17 x 6.25 because the 200 tire is a better fit for this rim and it looks a LOT better, rides better, and sits at a better ride height. What’s needed to put a 21″ Wheel on?
