Tax refund has to go somewhere.

are you short? You can get a KLR650 for the same amount of money. Aside from replacing the doohickey and upgrading the front brake, it's a very good street/trail bike. over 6 gallon tank for some pretty serious range. I think i scratched 300 miles between fill ups on mine when I was slabbing it.

I'm going to wager that the Sherpa and the KLR are pretty close in fuel economy. The Sherpa will be screaming @ 60mph. The KLR will be a lot more relaxed. I'm 5'10" and was ok with the KLR650. My friend who was your height was a bit tippy toed. It's pretty light though.
