They're scared of heights?
A lot of less experienced riders are way to uncomfortable if their entire foot doesn't reach the ground, ala Custom cruisers. |

Well, I've never had a cruiser. Got no problem with just toes touching. I'm 6' so my heels are about half inch off the ground on a Uly. The height and the wide flat seat felt like I was sittin on a milk crate up there. I just want to sit as low into the bike as possible, that's all. The Corbin looks like a good option.
Plus, as Court seems to hint at, the suspension should be the best yet. |

There are good reasons for needing a lower seat height.
I have a bum left leg that can't hold me up on it's own, much less the bike.
A lower seat makes it less likely I'll tip over to the left at a stop sign.
I recently installed SCG suspension parts on my firebolt for this reason. |

Yeah Josh, it probably is because you're 6'2".
And Dan, don't forget the experienced riders who aren't as concerned with their entire foot touching the ground as much as they are at least some of their foot touching the ground.
It's not the riding...
It's the stopping. |

sorry wolf, and thanks spidey
spidey's right, the way i ride, and the location are best suited for the nine (inho)
this however isn't everyone's opinion
we ride in the big twisties most of the time, and for me and the nine, i can stay in 3rd or 4th gear (depending on how tight the road is) and just plain ol' rip it up.
i like the tt's set up, just prefere the nine's engine |

So far my Buell ownership has been nothing but good. I am looking forward to MB4. I wish I would have made the move from the Harley along time ago. But I am making up for lost time. I have had the Uly less than 6 months, and I have put 8500 miles on it so far. The Bolt hasn't turned 1000 yet, but it will soon!
Thank you Global Warming!! Its Dec. 14th and it will be 60 deg. when I ride home! |
