Doug: Congrats on the Suzuki and thanks for the input. I rode my nephew's Ninja 500 the other day and it was fun. A bit small on the foot controls. My size 13 boot was a bit awkward. I'd guess that bike is comparable to the Suzuki. I'm about your size but about 200lbs. Hey what's the barbecue place just a few miles down from the Greenville airport? It's the best. I have family in Robersonville and used to fly into Greenville a lot.
