But an R1? I don't think I can. It's waaay too high, although I know it's not just the seat height that matters but also the seat width & shape that come into play.

Surfales, I'm only 4'10" tall. So I should be glad that I can ride at all for that matter. But how I would love to ride an R1!!! (To be more accurate, I can probably ride those. I just can't stop!!)

My son has a 99' CB600 F4. We took a ride today and swaped bikes. I liked his bike better. Riding position is more comfortable and engine felt smoother. I'd like to try the CBR 1000.
