I agree, but maybe not the whole post. My C50T is the only bike (of over 7 bikes I've owned and numerous more ridden) that I could flat foot it. It's something you get used to. My Venture is over 800 lbs dry, I can only tippy toe it or one foot flat, and it hasn't been an issue for me yet.

There is one intersection on my commute to work if I'm the first vehicle in the middle lane, the asphault has a lump that allows me to flat foot it. I admit I feel real comfortable stopping there, but that doesn't happen often.
