You definitely won't regret getting the 10.
Love mine but after more than 2 hours on her my knees are aching like no tomorrow so i think my next bike will be a big naked v twin. spend less time hunched over!
Mmmm KTM 1290!

The 10 felt less hunched over than the 7 I am on now.

The 6 felt like my track bike, I think a bit too track for the road but a great motor and no need to rev it to death.
The 10 felt like a 600 with a monster motor, but the demo bike I rode had an issue with the brakes were a bit of an issue after the monster brakes on the six.
I am leaning towards the 10 so easy to ride, seat is better than the 6 and turn in is soooo easy.

the 10's brakes are no match for the 6's ones.
but the new 10's brakes are a massive improvement over the crim and gumby

I noticed that on the Wisemans run last week. Definitely no wind resistance from your upper body
Maybe test ride on a Zeddy as well........... you know your not getting any younger and your back will thank you....

Lets' not start with the old comments Brad

.....I honestly don't think comfort will be an issue on the 10 and if I want more leg room I can drop the pegs.
