Wife don't got a spare $5k and i'm still hooked on my DR-Z...even though she threw me off in a river today...

Wife also didn't buy into teh whole 2-up / quality time argument...

how tall is that thing likley to be? I'm intrested but a little concerned by the height, I was cool with the KTM LC4 but that had the low weight on it's side,
I'm about 1.75 m (short arse). I dont fancy a wasted trip up to Picton or wherever, if its just to damn big,

It's hard to gauge when Ive never seen one in the flesh...................

My legs arent all that long and I dont have much trouble , I whacked a bit of foam out of the top of the seat on mine and that made it more comfee and a bit lower but they have such good ballance so my feet just stay on the pegs unless Im stopped

Not sure but the RD07a version (post 96) is the lowest one of the lot. UG has a RD03 which is the tallest. It will be around 860/870 from wiki but the seat is wider than you would normally find on a 640 etc so is probably equvalent to a 880 ish 640 seat.
