Evening, new member from South Wales with a brand spanking new V-Strom 800 RE. Just running her in and getting to know her. She's a little bit taller than the last bike, a lowered MT09 Tracer, so had a few "Bambi on ice" moments 😂😅 Looking forward to discovering hints and tips and maybe fellow riders down this way.
cheers n beers, Ali

Welcome.

I’ve got a 2022 1050XT, and I’ve got a 29” inside leg. Low seat and boots with a 10mm sole sorted any problems for me.👍

Nah, it's the big bald geezer in his Jimmy Choos that we want.
