Default 200mm softail handling vs 150mm softail handling

Going around turns how much different does the 200mm make over the 150mm of the older softails

I can not really tell any difference but it does look good.

I have a Slim (140 rear) and a Lo (200 rear). It's not a direct comparison, but they're pretty similar bikes.

To me, the Slim is more nimble, and gets around turns a little easier. That said, they're both quite capable.

I am finding that the 140 lasts longer than the 200. Not within the scope of your question, but thought I'd toss that in there.

I'm an old timer and don't ride as fast & hard as I used to, so the 200 rear tire handles fine for me. BUT, the 200 doesn't last many miles!
