I have a bit of a problem... I am on an eternal quest for the perfect bike. I have been through 4 this year. I started with a 2002 B-12, went to a M50 for more comfort, then to a VFR because the M50 was too slow. Now I have a FJR, which is fast, and comfy... but my legs don't get to stretch out.

I am a tall rider (6'2" with most of my height from my legs). There are two bikes I am now considering: the B12.5, and a V-Strom. I hear the DL1000 is a great bike for tall people, and has a neutral riding position. However, I loved the motor from by B12, and the B12.5 motor seems to be even better. Plus, since both of these are naked bikes, you can add highway pegs to stretch out the legs.

Can anyone else comment on coming from a FJR to a Bandit? Or compare the B12.5 comfort with the VStrom?
