Short HP2

[Harrison]

Hi,

i'm 5"8 and thinking of either a 1200GS or HP2. I haven't managed to get to a dealer yet; would the HP2 simply be too tall?

 

[sycomoto]

yep

unless you've very long legs and a short body

 

[Loiq]

no probs, I'm no taller got short legs and ride an HP. Just needs confidence and bit of fiddleing with the suspension settings.

Just let some air out of the rear shock,no problems at all.You can't do that with an Adv

 

[Loiq]

put a bag of cement on the back of the adv has much the same effect

 

[Katiana]

alternatively

instead of cement Loiq , put swimbo on the back!
Let's face it not many size 10's on here (present company excluded of course!)

Well I guess you can, my wife can reach the floor with her toes if she hangs her bum off one side of the seat. You can drop the overall ride height quite a bit front and rear and get a Wunderlich seat that would make it very possible to ride comfortably.

5'9 with a 30 inch inseam, no issues. Ride away.

Mrs Bones can hang her bum off both sides of the seat at the same time. No Trouble getting both feet down but she doesn't have much rear suspension travel left.
