i have a 200 cc single cylinder 16 Bhp Honda bike. It has 13/43 front and rear sprocket, and an 18 inch wheel. I really like to convert the wheelie into nice looking 17 inch.

Please suggest with gearing, if could it has/surpass the accelaration or topped out the 18 inch one.
 
The wheel will change the bikes speed (Lower) by 6.6%, To adjust for this you must change the drive sprocket larger by that, or the rear wheel sprocket lower by that.

If you had a 20 tooth sprocket, each tooth would equal 5%, by going to a 18 tooth sprocket (drive) you would get back 10%, or a 4% gain over what you had before..

The dealer can help you pick the correct sprocket when your ready.
 
try std gearing first with the smaller wheel[which will change the gearing for more speed as its smaller]...if not go 3 teeth less on the rear sprocket...
