Yeti's 6 foot and quite a bit more and he manages to squeeze on his Storm/s in a tangle of elbows and knees - best get a test ride to see how it can fit

I'm 6'2" as well - and I fit fine on an SP. My mate has an SP1 - he's gotta be close to 18st and as tall as me, and fits fine. If you do buy an SP and can't get on with it, I'll take the hit and swap it for my (uber fast Orange) 'Storm...

Oh, and welcome!

Hi welcome Carlos,

I know Dawlish very well, my sister lives there. You may see me on my Black Storm down there one day. I would like an SP1/2 but I would keep my storm as well.

Have Fun :thumbup:
