Assuming stock wheels, they are both MT, or 130/90 x 16".

You should find, as an alternative, that you can get an MU or 140/85 in. It has the benefit of being a little wider, but also having a higher load rating. If you ride 2-up a lot that is a useful change, as the stock rear tyre is marginal in that department.

Added later: I should say that I am referring to an alternative rear tyyre!
