It looks like I should have limited the range and narrowed the steps.

Interesting how many are above the 5'9" average of white males.

When I just posted, 61% of riders were between 5'11 and 6'5. I guess the strom is a tall bike.

Overall height isn't all of the question as much as inseam with a taller bike like the Strom. I'm 5' 8+" but with a 29" inseam. My SO is ~2" shorter but has much longer legs.

I've been thinking about suing the city...

Default another poll

how about how many bikes have you owned?
how many bikes do you have (on the road and insured currently)?
do you drive a truck?
is your V-Strom your only means of transportation?

I'm a bit over 5'10" but shrinking a bit every year due to age.

Ride safe.
