You definitely would not like a BMW R1100 then, but they are so much lighter, that maybe you would.

Most metrics sit *way* too high for me.

I have long legs for my height [32” of 53” total] *but* have narrow hips.
[my dad always said I was built like a tree frog]

No matter how flexible I might still be, the narrow hip width means I have trouble getting my legs out past the motor far enough for flat-footed standing.

The Sporty was no problem and it was light but it felt like I was sitting on bar stool doing 60 mph.

Didn’t like it a bit.

The guy hubby bought his Night Train from had a metric bike that I could actually sit properly.

I’ll have to ask what it was because I can’t recall what it was.
