Nothing new or substantial in the review . BTW anyone else concerned by the size of the bike ? Dude is 5'11 and looks big .

I think I failed to convey what I intended to say so let me try again - by size I don't mean to say it is practically inadequate since I felt comfortable on the saddle even with the mid set controls. Length and weight are certainly on the higher side so not an issue either , seat height is comfortable as well.
It is the relative height of the fuel tank as compared to the seat(I guess an outcome of 60deg v-twin hence lower engine height) and hence the rider than gives an appearance of the rider sitting on top of the motorcycle rather than behind the tank ( for example an iron 883 ). This is a visual micropsia but something that might appear to be odd when a 6'2 90kg person is astride the bike. Also the pillion seat in its current form offers very little bum real-estate , either I will have to find a size zero girlfriend or make the current one run 10kms every day

Now that is awesome! All im looking to do is cruise, so knowing this bike has the potential to reach that speed and maybe more with drafting, is good to know. thanks for posting thisRe

The seat on my R80GS is only a couple of cm lower than the top of the fuel tank. Sitting above the bike is normal to me. I have never seen the appeal of low deeply cupped seats. Give me a long, wide flat seat I can move around on and be comfortable on. On my Street Rod I had a local upholsterer basically fill in the seat pocket and move what little was left of the step back so the seat is essentially flat now. He widened it a bit as well. Now it is comfortable for me, and this has the side benefit of giving me additional leg room, since the Street Rod has a normal mid-set foot peg placement. The riding position matches my BMWs now. The riding position of something like a Night Rod Special or even worse a Road Glide is very awkward, and uncomfortable as all heck.I think I failed to convey what I intended to say so let me try again - by size I don't mean to say it is practically inadequate since I felt comfortable on the saddle even with the mid set controls.

This feet out in front thing is all wrong for rider control. You can't weight the inside peg for a turn nor can you stand up on the pegs to clear an obstacle in the road, or a really bad bump as you can with normally placed mid-set foot controls. I have noticed that in the thirty something years since I first took an MSF riding course they have deleted the exercise of riding your bike over a length of 4 X 4 lumber to test your ability to ride over an unexpected piece of something on the road that you can't otherwise avoid (hey, stuff falls off trucks even in the US). The cruisers can't do it. Sacrifice capability and safety for looks? No thank you.
