    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    If you find yourself out Fordingbridge way then give me a shout, happy for you to try it out although it's a dry weather toy only, got a disposable Honda for the Winter ; )

    I've noticed bike seat heights seem to be creeping up a bit too.

    or are we shrinking as we age....??

    that was the surprising thing when i got my bird, it looked like it was big in the sadle but i have no probs seated with feet flat on the ground, the Z900 looked the opposite, mind you if i was willing to be relieved of a further £400 they could fit the thinner seat and lower the suspension.

    i only find i get vertically challenged is after several pints of guinness

    Another shorty here: I always check the height of bikes to check I could reach the ground. My current bike is 1cm taller than my old bike, but I do feel less perched ontop of it (810mm). But year, 835mm it says for the Z900RS online... bit much.

    That Z900 is a beaut... but you could get a Speed Triple... or any lovely Triumph.
