Problem with R6's is they are rally tall You have to be about 5'11" to get your feet down.

Aye... sorry I thought we meant the new one. Not kind on us small folk.

Hope the leathers work out well for you.

Yeah, I learnt the hard way took a new r6 out for a test ride - as I said I don't remember it being too tall, but I reckon the tyres weren't scrubbed in to the edges & I lost it going round a bend & wrote it off. Cost me the excess of £1K.
That said, of course you can have a sit AND you can can take it for as much or as little as you are confident about.
