Traded mine in for the R3R, loved that bike but time to move on to something a little less harsh. I found my shoulders ached after a ride, a problem not yet encountered on the triumph.

By way of rubbing salt into your wounds, I had the seat at the higher level Feet flat on the deck too.

Gaston Rahier .. who won the Paris to Dakar rally way back was no taller than you Lupe. He was on a factory prepared 800GS that would have been taller than a 1200GS .. where there's a will there's a way.
