how tall are you ? I ask that because a friend of mine had one on a test ride and we both felt it was cramped we are both 6ft. Maybe a coincidence or even a generalisation but ever since I have noticed that blackbird riders are short.

I love my ST4 but if you read all the bike mags the best sports tourer available new is the Triumph

approx 6ft 3" in boots, although the bike did not seem cramped when stationary, but without a test ride at this point I have no way of knowing if what you say is correct.
In what way did it feel cramped if you get my drift.

thanks
