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.
