You can always lower it drag racing style, it might not corner too well but at least you'd be able to reach the ground.

hmm may just pass on that one thanks

I didnt get to sit on yours but having pic's with it they are way to high... I had more chance on the 14

Sat on the Hayabusa Sunday and I can just reach the ground and seat can be done too so would give me more of my feet on the ground but man o man they are a heavy bike

Point taken. I ended up lowering the front of mine as I didn't like having to stand on my tippy toes each time I pulled up at the lights. The hayabusa is a more comfortable hight, but I doubt it handles as good as the 12

That's OK cause I doubt I will get one

I am happy with a 6 of some sort and if that dont work well can always resort to a pocket bike

Smitty come on lets face it. Noone actually wants a twelve. Typically you have to have a twelve because your backs too rooted, or your too old, too big or too short to ride the only bike worth riding ie the 10

Now I'm gonna bugger orf and hide

Why would you buy a 12 if you're too short to ride a 10? The last time I sat on a 10 it was easier to reach the ground than the 12.

Also you forgot to mention that the 10 is a bit too ugly.

It does look good.

Hundreds of possitive comments can't be wrong

It's gold

Nothing wrong with the gold bike

It was crossed off the list 2 weeks ago but I cant be stuffed changing siggy's...

Besides I have no idea what is better 12 or 10 as I have never been on a 10 but I wasn't saying one was better than the other

Siggy changed now brought the one I had from Race Rep over

You know how these 10 riders are. They're always cranky from being cramped on the little 10s that they can resist having a go at the 12s because that's what they'd rather be riding

So Glen, why do you think there are so many 12 riders that seem to think we 10 riders are jealous of them and wish we had a 12? Do you think they attempting to compensate for some form of insecurity of the type that made them get a 12 in the first place?
