Talking Deluxe Riders . . .
how tall are you? Some argue this bike is set up for shorter riders. I'm six feet tall with short legs. Fits me perfect. Just curious as to who exactly fits on this ride. Thanks.

I'm 6ft and I feel like I'm sitting on the tank. Love the bike, but I have to make it more comfortable.
