Seat height was one thing that delayed my purchase but the Sprint is just as bad and I don't expect the Trophy to be much better. One thing that helped is the seat options. I found that with the standard seat in the lower position, I could almost flat foot and that the mid controls make single footing much easier and better balanced than forward controls. I understand that less preload on the rear shock (ESA confort position) also lowers the bike. BTW, I have a 30" inseam. My biggest problem is that at 65, I'm not as flexible as I once was so getting on is worse than riding.

Anyway, both my wife and I enjoy riding it. The performance and handling is outstanding, both at low and high speed; however, I probably would not have bought it were we not planning longer road trips.
