Mine just arrived today but in the shop for another ten days for customizing. What did you think of 'er? I'm 180cm and thinking you're about the same so wondering how you felt bout the ride?
Hey mate, I'm 176cm and found it perfectly comfortable. My knees sat just below a right angle which was incredibly comfortable, especially on longer trips. I used the bike to commute 70km a day for a week and never found it too small or uncomfortable and rode for almost a whole day on the weekend I had it with no worries. May have gotten a little lost in fact... What changes are you making to yours?
Thanks Mathieu, thats good to know. Here in Japan, the SR400 is everywhere as you are probably aware. But average height is lower, and I have nothing to compare to. Appreciate your response. Sounds like you're enjoying the SR and a whole day's ride is longer than I expected with the vibration. Well, the customizing business is huge in Japan, and the SR400 is the bike of choice it seems. But Im doing , what they call "light custom": small fairing, seat, pipe and tank pads. Might get a saddle bag and smaller lights on back. Just the light customizing is adding up! will post a video when I get the bike next week. cheers....
Nearly toppled over
Yeah, silly me forgetting to check the side stand hadn't moved. Good thing it's a very light little bike! Could have had some explaining to do.

Hot. I so want to hop on the seat after you get her fired up and take her for a proper ride.
It is definitely worth a ride!
