Mellow, could this upset the plan? Sounds like a 700 twin beauty. That's Nick Sanders on it and from memory he's only about 5'9" so might not be too tall for the average human. Not that you're only average of course!

Not for me, I don't do off road unless it's an accident so a sport tourer is more my speed.. Thanks!... lol

I think I'm sub-average. :D I look at that picture and notice a few things. First, if he's 5'9", he's three inches taller than I am. He only has the ball of his right foot on the ground. And he's shifted his position to do even that.

I wish they made deployable step stools you could carry with you when riding something like that. :D

Chris, I do feel for the vertically challenged.
Personally, at times I wished I didn't live where there are 17th century pubs made for midgets. Those beams don't half hurt. But only until the beer makes you forget.
The bike shown is actually a prototype and the actual bike although very similar will be slightly lower. A better description would probably be pre-production?

:D It's okay. I've lived my whole life wondering why my legs weren't at least 4 inches longer.

Where's that pub that's built for midgets? I'd feel right at home there. :D

Wow, that was super quick! You don't mess around! Jealous, very jealous! ;)
Oh, been eye balling this bike for a while, along with the tiger 800, vstrom and a couple others.. this one is the only one that felt just right, might be because I've been used to Yamaha. The 1200RS was sweet too but still wanted a lighter bike.

I'm guessing either Joe is not married, or he has a very accommodating wife. :)

I just noticed his profile picture. Now we know why he has a grin from ear to ear. :D

Nice! You will like that bike. Bob Wallace has one here with just over 10,000 miles on it, he loves it. I have already installed new tires on it for him.

How many will fit in your garage Joe?
I dont think so, just depends on how much the bike can do and how much I like it, keeping both wouldn't be so bad. :biggrin:

I have 4 in mine. They fit and Judy still has her car in there. But I sure need to cut the inventory by one. Or buy another house.
