Actually the GT1000 was one of my first choices when shopping for bikes this year. I loved the retro look and combined with such a high performance engine, I went in to the dealer with the intent to buy it.
Then I sat on it. It's much higher then it looks. At 6' tall I can't put both feet flat on the ground. Also I didn't like the riding position. Thats the reason I passed and got my America which was #2 on the list.
I have no regrets but in a year or 2 I may try to pick one of these up used. Or just get a new Hypermotard.
