im used to a vtwin actually. i ride hubs honda superhawk 1000. i love it. i love it on sooo many levels. but its massively heavy and when i come to long stop lights, my calf aches bc i can only use one foot to hold up the bike. not really a safe option. im still only one year riding street. i grew up riding dirtbikes so i have plenty of mx experience behind me. street is so different thou. if i were taller, i would have so many more options. i hesitate to lower a bike, such as the sv, for fear of truly affecting overall handling. riding a bigger bike has so many advantages though. you just feel smoother and safer.
