The busa is not a small bike. We all know that. I feel pretty comfortable riding it and at a standstill. But, I can admit that I cannot flat-foot the bike at a stop. I'm 5'10" with shoes on and I weigh 175.
Just wondering how tall the rest of you are here...
I cannot Imagine someone owning a busa if they are below, say, 5'8"... that seems way too small to be able to control the bike at a stop or to even back it out of a parking spot. At 5'10" I can ONLY plant both feet flat on the pavement if I push down to do it. So... right now, normally, when I have both feet on the ground I am using the balls of my feet. But, I can also just use one leg to hold the bike up if I want at a stop and keep the other foot on the left peg.
Just curious how tall the rest of you guys are. If anyone is less than 5'8" here... I sure hope you've got some strong azz legs to hold up this heavy bike!
