5'9"

180lbs.

gs 500

srx 250

500 has a great sitting position, but after a long ride my upper legs hurt from holding them in against the tank.

The 250 to me is even more comfortable even though its a more sporty riding position and is skinnier then the 500.

5'9' 260 my bike is around 475 or so maybe 500 I don't know

6 ft, 155 lbs, 34" inseam.

My GS is pretty comfy...I like the fairly upright riding position. My only complaint is that my butt gets very tired of sitting on the bike after about an hour of riding, although it's not anything that standing on the pegs and bouncing a bit doesn't fix!

Height = 5'10"
Weight = 175lbs

Bike = 2001 CBR 929RR

5'7"
140lbs

05 Honda Rebel 306lbs
05 Suzuki S50 boulevard 443lbs

I can stretch out better on the suzuki, but the Rebel affords a more comfortable ride over the long haul.

I grabbed this jacket:

buuut i didn't like the fact it was only 400 denier nylon. With the TM jacket, it had 500 with 1680 denier nylon shoved in in some places. Though basically anything that says it's 3/4 length or full length. Oh yeah, even with it being a 3/4 length, i had to order the tall, and even then the cuffs are close to being too short.

My bike 470lbs dry with 26" high is perfect for my build. I don't want it to be too heavy to handle in traffic (spliting lane). This is another reason I wouldn't upgrade the bike until now.

I second on tour master advance jacket. This is a nice quality jacket and seem to be longer than others. If you wanna buy this jacket wait a couple months and it might come with a big discount as a discontinue item.
