Possibly, I can't recall but I'd imagine he'd look about right...

Hey, I can ride it, and I'm 5'7''!!! And I'll look after it really well, promise.


We will miss you here though; your erudite comments, thoughtful interventions, well researched alternative points of view and, of course, your picture for every occasion.
Have fun out there Bryon and come home safely when your wunderlust is satiated. Mwah xxx

Was it an "S" model?

S model has 2" extra suspension travel

And the Renazco seat on mine also adds an inch

And it's wider and flatter than the stocker

Even with the lowered gel seat on it I can't flat foot the S...

Do it now before other thing stop you doing it.

My old bosses daughter does this, last time I saw him she'd ended up in New Zealand as crew

But she'd done Transatlantic deliveries and also crewed on one of the Turkish flotilla in the summer.

Plenty of Kiwi's & Auusie's doing this as well.

If you've got wanderlust, I don't think you'll cure it, just circumstances stop you.

I've been to some fabulous places by boat and got paid to do it, all my current projects are landbased, and restricted by work & children

Mr wolf I would be more than happy to look after the KTM for you, I have the length

Good luck on the sailing adventures btw, remember to post some pics and make us all jealous.
Btw, life don't stop at 40 you know, you can still do stuff !!

Arrr, nothing is ever straight forward! It was the standard Adventure model...not the "R" which has a 3" taller seat! You have an R then?

I assume an "S" model is the same as the "R"? Never heard of the S before?
