Pete Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Compared to the older XT's it's a lot better, but you won't get Strom levels of pillion comfort cos that's not really what it's built for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 around 1.72m...so that's around 5'8" i think....damn stubby legs!!! I'm 1.79 but I've got long legs for my height (34") so I get both feet down on the XTR. XT Alan's about your height and he managed OK with his though.
