Went to my nearest Honda dealer this morning to arrange a testride. Totally understaffed, probably due to some wedding or something, so didn't get chance to arrange one. Had a seat again and am even more sure that this bike will be just fine for my height. Don't know how Honda almost always get the ergos right on their bikes, this bike is now exception. Anyway I'll try my other Honda dealer next week - I'm sure they'll be better at spotting a potential customer (I've bought 4 bikes from them, but none from my nearest dealer - I wonder why??). In summary, despite no testride it felt just fine for someone with long legs - not a lot more leg bend than my V-strom, but a less upright riding position.
