Has your ride height/preload been adjusted?I'm only 5'9" but can get both feet down on the ground on mine (and i'm more than happy with the way the bike turns into corners) especially compared with my old R6 and my mates '03 R1.
Other mate had 99 Mille and that felt tall,sat on new mille at NEC felt a tad taller but don't know whether that was down to beer!!!Told missus i want new 749r!!
