They are not oddball, it is the size that a lot of adventure motorcycle and dual motorcycle use, BWM, KTM and Ducatti are some of the Mfg that use 19/17 on some of their models.
In fact for the type of riding you want to do, that rim combo will suit you better than 21/18. Gravel and dirt is an easy task for them, even when using dual sport tires.
