On Sun, 20 Nov 2005 10:44:46 +0000, Champ did witter on about: However, while the bike is a bit smaller, it is physically quite tall (all part of getting the mass high up for quick changes of direction, I think), so I'd be surprised if it will fit you. I hate to say it, but a recent Fireblade might be your best bet. From what I understand the K% is a lot lower down or the seat is narrower at the front so your feet can reach the ground. I found Daz's K5 to be a lot lower than my K1 when I sat on it. I thought this was because I have modified rear suspension[1] but after fitting the standard shock back into mine, while the Maxton was away being rebuilt, I found it even higher than it was before. Overall, I'd say as standard the K5 is lots lower than a K1, but the K5 seat is like a plank. I've sat on both the 10R and the Gixer K4 & K5 and the K5 is significantly lower than the other two. I can almost flat foot the K5 whereas the others I'm definitely on tippy toe.[/QUOTE] That's encouraging, you're a bit taller than me but not much. Saying that, "Triumph 955iSS / ZX9R / GSF1200 bandit " all these are a bit tall for me. :([/QUOTE] Even with your bits cut off?[/QUOTE] You really don't understand do you.
