    You will - I'm 5' 5" and it's not ever been an issue - low C.O.G. and perfect balance , means that even hobbits like me can run them !!!

    I am going to have a look at the bike this afternoon and hopefully a go on it. I phoned the guy, its been stood a while and needs a bit of TLC to bring it back to tip top condition - just dust and grime from being shoved into the corner of a workshop and small rip in the seat, so we will see what's needed, but it does give a bit of negotiation leverage.

    I am feeling a bit excited.

    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.

    Go for it, a new seat isn’t that expensive Im lovin my new bike, I even had a go off road and they are not lying when they say it works off road. I did the same route with my old BM1150 and was sh*ting myself.


    PS handling problem sorted now that I have the correct tyre pressures.

    actually I just had a thought, Don’t buy it. The whole reason I went for this bike was I wanted something that would do it all but didn’t want a BMW 1200GS because every f—er has one and they travel in packs.
