There are several other "tiny" riders that ride Buells. None can ride my Uly because they can't touch the ground.

At 6' 235lbs 49" Chest 37" waist, I look like a monkey humping a foot ball on most sport bikes. I looked down right hilarious on the Firebolt. It looked like a red wheeled suppository.

The problem is that nearly ALL sportbikes are built with the same rider model in mind. It makes it really difficult to find a "true" sportbike that fits.

I actually rode a bike over the weekend that was TOO big. Anyone ridden the KTM 950 Super Enduro R?

Holy Crap! It was like riding a bus.
