Before you lump everyone with wrist pain in the lumpy
cat. I have a friend that rides a Suzuki svs650 he is
in great shape but has carpel tunnel his wrist hurt
after long rides. I however fight with Dunlops
syndrome and have back issues when I slack off my
workouts. I know another guy that is circumference
challenged....he can't get on a bike at least not a
sport bike.
