[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1374520, member: 3828"] If I were your size (5'8" 145 lbs) it would open up a world of bikes to me. I wouldn't be all crowded on my FJR, even solo, and I'd be able to comfortably stand on my Vstrom's pegs without hunching my back and shoulders, though I instead might complain about not touching the ground with both feet at the stop lights. Unfortunately(?) for me I am more in the middle of the North American body size bell curve and am 6'2" and ~ 225 lbs on a good day (working to get that down) and the a fore mentioned maladies mean that riding a sporty type bike for more than a short ride is painful. Been there, and done that. Little people can get nice and comfortable on sport bikes, where bigger people are in misery. Jus' sayin. Enjoy your ride. [/QUOTE]
