you can get a 180 tyre on a zx6r rim, but not a chance getting an r1's 190 on a standard rim. It would handle like a peice of sh*t aswell!, alot of people with r1's go down to a 180 to make em turn a bit faster

you cuold possibly make it fit - but I cant understand why you would want to unless all you want to do is ride in straight lines!
if your strapped for cash - see if you can get a set of part worns off a racer
