Test rode the new Yamaha yesterday and loved everything about it but the height between the seat and footpegs. I currently ride a KTM 450 (16-18 chassis) with stock bars and the 20mm higher seat and I am not sure if I am just used to the higher feeling of my seat and I will be fine on the Yamaha once I get used to it. I rode 5 laps on the Yamaha that is mostly stock with a set of 997 bars which I got told are a tad higher than the stock bars and with a little less sweep. I will try my own bike with the stock seat today to see if I feel the same way as I did when I sat on the Yamaha.
My question to the taller riders (6 foot +) did you ever feel cramped on the bike with the stock seat, pegs and handlebars? If so what did you do to correct it? I am thinking that a higher seat would help my case and maybe even lowered pegs.
