| Anyone here got one? Anyone that is ~6ft tall and over 250? |

I've got one. 2001 model, day-glo Kawi green. It's my daily rider/commuter. I ride on city streets a lot, and I've done huge freeway slogs (80+ MPH) on it many a time. It's a good bike, very light and flingable... anything in particular you want to know? I'm 5'9" and about 155 lbs. The ergonomics are excellent (though the seat sucks to high heaven) as a whole for someone like me, and there's plenty of room for taller folk as well, but the suspension is SOFT on these bikes. Anyone over about 180 lbs. is going to notice a lot of fork dive, and a lot of bottoming out of the shock on very rough roads, which we have a lot of here. I started on mine, and I've had it for about 3 1/2 years now. Only now am I feeling like moving to another daily rider... and it doesn't have anything to do with the motor or overall performance; I'm looking for a change of pace than anything else. Gonna check out a Guzzi today, and a YZF600R tomorrow.
