i don't care. it's too early for me to even worry about getting smoked. :laughing:

anyway... i think the seat heights will be too much for me.

Can you flat foot your bike? That guy I saw on the ltd edt one couldn't on his. He spent the whole time on his tip toes.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Yeah, but i can't afford a KTM and there's something about the DR400SM that rubs me the wrong way.

Verm, how tall are you?

When I sat on a few gixxer's at a dealership they seemed really small (not as small as my GS...but small nonetheless) for my 6'6" frame; but for whatever reason that bike looks huge with you on it. Maybe cameras add 50lbs and a few inches to bikes :laughing:
