Even the salesman was swearing that he hadn't even ridden it yet.

Tho he did go make a lap after i got off of it.

gotcha.
to me, it seemed a bit more relaxed riding position than my SV, which supprised me actually.
and the salesman didn't see it. he went back inside with the gf.

your biggest prob will be the rear brake lever.
it is adjustable, but when it's all the way out, the engine case will interfere.
it was set about in the middle on the showfloor, and it was ok for me...
but for a bigfoot like yourself, could cause issues.
