given you height I say the speedtriple version is actually better to ride, same vintage 97-2001.

Or a firestorm might be worth a try?

yeah I had 4 speedtriples and two Daytona's, the Daytona's look stunning, but after a few weeks I speedtripled the frontends onboth as they are better to ride.

Cheers Mark.
