Interesting. Ya see, I'm just about 6'2" and I've never felt cramped at all on my BA.
And re the grounding of your pegs while on your Suzuki Intruder....this again is one of the reasons I've always appreciated my BA...it seems to have a lot more ground clearance than the vast majority of other "Cruisers" out there, so throwin' my baby into the Twisties is still a whole lot o' fun!
