Get the seat sculpted and there's another 1 - 2 inches. Hey presto!

That's my view as well but Ruth has previously said she finds them too heavy. She needs to seriously rethink. Yep the Virago springs to mind.

Gawd I bugger off for a day and its still like groundhog day in here

I only woke up after dozing off reading the same crap in this thread cause my name and Bambi were mentioned.

I really feel like getting down there and flippin shaking you girly.
FFS get that bike put it to standard and sell it, determination or not, questions are getting raised over and over and the same answers are being given over and over.
I'm afraid I don;t think this is ever going to happen for you, unless you go and get a cruiser. Your just not physically able to ride this SV of yours. If you do......well I'll eat my own flip flops!
And don't start saying a cruiser ain't no good, I've seen far tooooooo many birds and blokes of all shapes and sizes ride em. Stop putting obstacles in there, cruisers have a complete different centre of gravity than an SV so therefore physcologically lighter.

My patience is starting to get a little thin....sorry

well it would be........I don't have flip flops I have fly flots

LOL! I'm laughing know fed up with being fed up! LOL

Erh ok, I know someone said there are heavy but i'll be honest, I actually find it one of the lightest i've tried to push around! Don't know whats thats about then!

Now i'm sorry Dizzy but....... I've tried the virago this is actually quite wide and my feelt are nowhere near the floor! The dragster 750 i tried, with the seat scooped i could get two flat feet, but i couldn't even get the bike off the side stand let alone outta the garage! And jesus there would be some damage made to them if i dropped em!

I keep looking at things like, I don't know the make but if anyone has MCN, one of the first few pages on the left, that tango(250_ thingy! Not a 250 but that style of bike, don't know what you would call then? They look narrow and light? Any ideas... dizzy don't shout , I'm just being honest!

add 17l of fuel = 15kg

add all fluids = 10kg

kerb weight = ~190-200kg at a guess, which ain't light...

114kg kerb weight is light
