I like the FJR's adjustable controls / seat - but - I'm concerned -
the lowest seat height listed on the website is 31.5 (rounding)
inches. With my 30 inch inseam - thats a bit tall. On the other hand,
I got on that ST1100 with absolutely no problems either.
Hmmmmm Gotta ride one I think - or at least sit on one.
In other news, I found out there is a 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan
750 with 17,000 miles on it for $750 about two miles away. Only
downside - its at a car dealer with a less than perfect reputation. On
the other hand - if I beat him up a little and paid cash.....
