Pedro Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Something bad is triggered in me when someone goes to the effort of putting a small mat on the floor to protect the carpet and then park the bike with one of the side stands off it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I've owned plenty of 17" front wheel bikes......and none of them have had low bars. But the bars are not relevant.....it's the way that a 17" front wheel feels when cornering. Remember that all of us who started back when I did all learnt to ride on 19" wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I started with the 21 Transalp, and then the 21 inch XR, the GS1150 felt natural as does the current one. However, I have ridden a few 17 inch bikes but all sporty bikes like Sofia's Speed Triple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
