Hay-ulp...!

Um.

I suspect this beastie will be too high for me, but can't seem to dig up any charts on the Hinternet. Comments anyone? (Bearing in mind there are 20 hours to go on the thing... best looking deal I've seen so far, though.
Fanx in advance for your much valued opinions...

Oh, and for those who have not met (or tripped over) me, I am a mighty 5 foot 4 inches high.

It's a 96. Found a thread on here where Mencius was looking at one.

Yokai had one at the time aswell (back in december 2004)

The person selling it is roughly 6feet (180cm) tall acorrding to the info typed in a little lower on the page if that helps...

I dont know but personally I think the rule of where theres are will theres a way, they arent overly big..
770mm is about the same as my ZZR I'd be about 5'7+ or there abouts and I had my feet planted feet planted and happy with bent knees... if that helps :\

Don't worry about it too much,Draco's only 5'2 (I think....)and she rides my 750 from time to time.....

I guess the syspension might be able to be lowered or shorter springs/forks. Also, modify the seat by removing some of the sponge from the seat and recover the seat. Hope you get it sorted as the bike looks OK for a Yamafart

Different bike same engine. Crashe rides a Virago 250. This thing just uses the same motor.

Not me mate....
I ride a Yamaha Virago... (cruiser)
and yep I am 4ft 12inches tall.

I did sit on Dr Surfchick's bike before she went over to Ireland for 3 months.
Her bike is tall for me.... which surprised the dr, as she figured I would get both my feet touching the ground.
I ended up swinging one leg around up in the air...

Mandownunder is looking after her bike while the good dr is away.

Weel, I'm going to go look at it now... wish me luck!

(Oh, and does anyone have any ideas re: parts? Apparently new headlight, bars & lever will stack up to about $700 bucks- but surely there must be bits in wreckers..?)

All advice welcome, chaps... have to make a decision on this quickly!

You know the advice I'll give lol. If you don'tmind having parts shipped from the states check ebay. The aussi version might have some but I don't know. I remember though seeing alot of SRV parts back when I was trolling for bits for my bike. Even thought about putting the gauges from an SRV on mine. Should be way cheaper than $700 even with the shipping.

Try not to crash it

Dr Surfchicks bike is heaps lower than mine, you should fit it no worries, you'll know when you go to look at it though
