Re: Just sold my K bike thinking of buying new sprint



David,
I have a Sprint and I am 6' tall with a 30" inseam, stock screen, and love
it. I have done an Iron Butt Saddle Sore 1000 as well as several 500-800
mile days. I have had no previous expirence with this type of riding. My max
prior to the Sprint was in the 300 miles a day area. I have 5800 miles on
her with no problems and simply love it.
Mark
Melbourne, fl.
99 Sprint
96 XR650L
