I have been to a few motard races these things are incredible and boat loads of fun KTM makes a 950 cc supermoto the thing is out of this world sick but for me the seat height is way to high .

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

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.

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

This is how you slide.

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

at 6'6" you'll be pretty cramped on it.
