Tallest storm rider?

Post by BigD »

Now I must be bored posting this question!!!

I'm a shade over 6ft 2 and find the riding position a little cramped. Anyone else find the same? Can the pegs be moved or any other minor adjustments to help would be appreciated. (suggestions like hacking 2 inches off me legs are not funny and quite honestly, aren't clever :D)

Ps
Short arses need not reply :wink:

I'm 6'3" and find it fine.
Mind you, I have got short legs and a long body and arms so that helps!!
:-)

Best tip is stay off the motorways and dual carriageways!!

Tall ? Not at all !

I'm 6 ft 4 ins ( 1.93m in new money ) and I find the storm really comfortable . At speed I just lean forward a touch to get the benefit of the double bubble screen I've fitted . The only issue I have is with the seat being angled I slide up close to the tank when the road is bumpy.
