Did that bike you sat on have the Adaptive Ride Height option and, if yes, was the bike in the lowered position?
yes it had it and it wasn't in the lowered position. Seems that you have to rock it back and forth a few times then it lowers when it has been turned off. So it went down another inch or so. That was pretty cool. Also they said this is the standard seat and they have a seat option that will lower it more if you need it.
Nice! I'm very intrigued, I'm a bit shy of 5'11" but you seem to be foot flat with low heeled shoes on. Definitely the first new design of Harley I've been excited about for along time. I was looking around at all the off-road options out through the desert on my last ride. Would be alot of fun for sure.
it was in Austin. They brought at least 10 bikes for the dealers sales people from the area to ride them. They also had the BMW and a few other bikes there they could ride to compare. They brought the standard and special bikes.

and my knees were slightly bent .. I bet you would have no problem on it.
Theres no way anyone 57 could ride it, right? It would be tiptoes all the way.
Wish there was a way to lower it a bit.
not sure how much the lowering seat they will sell will lower it. I was told there were people riding them earlier that would lean them when stopped and had no problems. I dont know.
I'm 6' as well, so the height of the bike was a major point of curiosity for me. You are flat-footed easily in the picture, so it looks like you just pushed me one step closer to a significant purchase.
