Actually, I am vertically challanged (5'&7"). The reach to the bars has my 
body leaned pretty far forward, and I find myself having to hold my head up 
to see forward. This gets old pretty fast, especially since I live on Long 
Island where traffic is always a problem. I even had to change the bars on 
my old Buell Cyclone, which was much less sporty than the RS. With the 
GenMars and the ST bars, life is much better.

As for buying in the winter, with a 2 year warrenty, you still get the same 
coverage regardless of what time of year you buy, plus the bike is usually 
cheaper.
Well time to put some gas in the snow-blower as the blizzard is predicted 
to start soon.
