Can TOTALLY relate; dropped bike 6 weeks ago. Delayed hospital visit for 3 weeks....because I'm a dude. Dr. today: herniated L5-S1 spinal disc, torn rotator cuff. The how: I'm at a gas station, OFF the bike- walking it, slipped on some oil. Picking bike up solo was THE issue. (TECHNIQUE is everything!) FWIW: haven't dropped a bike in over 40 years; I've been riding 44 this Sept. I'm 68, great shape....but it still kicked my ass; surgeries scheduled in 3 weeks. The culprit: -87 BMW K75C/550#

Looks a bit big for your build tbh. As a 6ft2 230lbs guy I still think smaller lighter bikes are way more fun if you don’t absolutely have to ride with a pillion most if the time. I still remember when I owned a 675 street triple R, I looked like a bear on it but who cares.

@@valebliz I think it’s perfect. Yes it’s a bit big, but it carries its weight very well. I’m 5’11” with a 32” inseam and can flat foot on it. I just made a careless mistake while “white zoning”. A good lesson to learn. I do agree that smaller bikes are more fun. My previous bike was a scrambler and it was a fantastic bike, especially for riding around town. I wanted to do more touring so hence, enter the Multi.
