Gidday Todd,
                    I'm 5'11'' and find the ST to feel perfect. Its one of those
bikes where the maker just got it right. People say the same thing if their 5'5''
or 6'3''. Before I chose the ST I gave the RS a try, again another great bike but
I prefered the slightly higher bars on the ST. I think it depends on your riding
style. Also the RS is a bit lighter, and I found it makes you want to throw it
around more. Either one Todd, I know you will be happy.
