Of course I can reach the ground, or else I wouldn't have bought it!
I'm loving this thing, it's so much different to the ZZR, both power and handling (but I still ride like a fairy), not to mention the pipe...almost enough to give me an orgasm...

They're a good thing, eh? Though I don't agree with you re handling...but then I am probably a good 50% heavier than you. Most people 90kg+ have the same complaint. I've also got helibars on mine, which makes a big difference to me, but I think the stock bike would suit you perfectly.RG wrote: I'm loving this thing, it's so much different to the ZZR, both power and handling...
Enjoy!

Upright? On the S model? Depends on your point of view I guess. I found them too low and a bit too far forward, really made it hard for me to rid for any length of time. These are about an inch and a quarter higher and an inch rearwards, which makes quite a difference. Ergonomics of the standard setup just don't work for me to the point I was going to sell it. But now it is much better and I will keep it a bit longer. Forever, says the Mrs

Yes they are a bit far, but I thought that's what a sports bike is like?
The way I look at it (which many may not agree), the SV is a sports bikes only without fairing.
I'm trying to get used to it, if I can't then I'll probably do the same as Felix.
