The fatty will stick better in the corners.

The thin tire will steer easier at low speed (when you actually turn the front end to steer, rather than lean).
The fat tire will smooth out road irregularities (like the freeway rain grooves out here in SoCal), plus just iron out the rough spots better, in general.
Plus, the more rubber on the road, the better the grip.

e answer is simple. You want to handle and grip corners? Or du you want to cruise and steer a little as a fat tire rolls down the straight?

the handling comes more from the suspension set up than the width of thre tyres, bear in mind theres only a sliver of tyre in contact at any time, rubber compound makes a lot more difference than size, and really how far do you want to push the handling, if you want your knee down then you are looking at the wrong bikes anyway, but to answer your question, they are about the same. cheers

Handling doesn't just depend on the size of the tire. The suspension, frame geometry, frame quality, etc are just as important. Probably th best hndling mid siaze bikes are the Honda CBR600 or 599, Suzuki SV650, GSXR750.

In motorcyling....it's the one situation where being fat is better than being thin.
Go for a fatty.
