[QUOTE="mr.paul, post: 1359592, member: 6454"] Curious what the OP went with. I'm 6'4", 36" inseam and have a more substantial relationship with gravity than some on here. probably 275. I almost went with the GS Adventure when I was waiting for my 2006 FJR to arrive. I never complained about the height. It would have been a nice ride I'm sure. But I waited and have loved my FJR and have done a number of all day rides on it. You already know it is one of the premier long distance bikes. I added a lowering kit to my pegs and that made a very good difference. Have to be more careful of foot position as it becomes very easy to drag a toe, but with lousy knees, there was really no alternative. Later I added a handlebar riser and went with a Russell seat. My Russell sits higher and I have plenty of leg room now. However, I don't think it would have worked without the riser at the bars. Also, a taller windshield. The bike fits well and I still don't see anything that I like better after 11 years. I would get another in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
