[QUOTE="ELP_JC, post: 493406, member: 6177"] I don't feel safe not being able to flat-foot on a bike, and fortunately, I can barely do so on sport-tourers like the FJR with my 31" inseam. But other people are okay with the increased risk of dropping a bike due to lack of reach. Or are willing to lower the bike, which I don't, since I ride for the twisties, and most sport-tourers are already somewhat limited in cornering clearance. Another option is to buy boots with a higher heel to increase reach; I'd do that rather than lowering the bike, plus has the benefit that you leave leg room the same. Many options, but there's always a limit. I wouldn't even try an adventure tourer, with its 35"+ reach, period. Good day. JC [/QUOTE]
