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.

Yeah I'd imagine new rear sets would be a given

Dunno how big your boots are ebbs, but I had no trouble on the brake pedal or shifter wearing my size 12 work boots. Since riding boots are generally smaller, it should be fine. I didn't like the passenger pegs being so close to the rider's though- my heels kept getting caught. Those need to leave.

Same thing I said before I got a bike. But the way they're built on the 650R I can't! I've found a few uses for them though.

Never had an issue with the pass pegs... then again, i wa just in the parking lot.

They would probably go anyway... just cause.
