Just keep in mind this is a *sport* tourer.  I've purchased a few bikes I've 
regreted in my life and its not fun.  I'm 49, 6'0" and about 240# and while I 
can easily do a 3-400mi. day on the ST, I'm not so sure I'd wanna do a cross 
country trip on it, my old 95 Trident OTOH has not been a problem on cross 
country sorties.  I'm sure there are many younger, shorter and less heavy 
riders on this list who could do it easily and in supreme comfort.  My point 
is really examine what kind of riding your expecting to do.  If long distance 
stuff really appeals to you, you may be better off with a Honda ST1100 or 
similar.  Try to get the right tool for the job rather than making the tool 
do what it was never intended to do.
