Never having ridden it, nor any Ambo/Eldorado before, I have no comparison
to make on it. I do know that it handles quite well, extremely stable, but
has a tendancy to scrape the pegs when I take a turn even slightly sharp. I
can say I've seen it next to an Eldo w/18" rims both from and back, and the
Ambo looked cooler than shit with the _FAT_ Dunlop white-walls on it.
Chrome might not get you home, but those white walls, man!

First I've ever heard of 16" on both ends...how does it handle?

I have that set up on my bike now, I went from two 18's to an 18 in front
120/90 - 18, but it is fatter.
Other than a little less ground clearance, the differance is not noticableto me. I believe the C.H.P. specified that arrangment on there bikes.
If you want to get rid of the 16 in front, let me know what you want forit.
