im about 5'9 and 150 LBS. i cant flat foot the bike when parked but i can get the balls of my feet on the ground. i have about a 32-34 inseam. the only problem i have is when i put on the saddle bags its a lot harder to throw the leg over. or when i have been on a long ride. feels like i have to crawl off.

The height has only given me a problem once trying to hop over big 15 inch rocks in diameter with about 10 inch height with a full tank up a hill. It looked like the guy on the tricycle on Laugh in for all you old farts. Very humbling. I shoulda been on a real dirt bike.......... but .......the guy that went up the same hill on a DR 650 and had very little dirt experience. Difference? He was about 6 ft 5 and just paddled his way up (and you can lower the DR easily). Criswell
