I got a friends '96 ZX-7R running for him a couple summers ago and out on a test ride I noticed my knee was uncomfortably close to the asphalt since I was just in jeans doing a lap around the "block" (I live in the country, 4 mile "block"). I'll wait till I get an FZ1 before I bother to try.

But you can lean like a SOB on a VTX. I had a kid on a 636 mention at a gas stop during a weekend ride that he didn't thing cruisers riders could lean out until he saw me ride.
