Africa Twin is a very tall bike, I had difficulty trying to swing a leg over it, to mount it.

I just sat on an AT yesterday waiting for my rear tire install to finish. It is tall for sure. I also sat on a gorgeous blue FJR. That was a comfortable seat. I want to take an FJR out for a ride.Originally Posted by willtill

I could really do the Africa Twin... it's the updated version of my old Trans Alp. (I miss that bike).

One item in the article I read in MC news, said the seat had some built in adjustment that allow a lower stance and center of gravity.

Yes, stock seat height is 34" and it lowers to 33"
My inseam is 30" so I would have to mount it by stepping of the right peg (with my right foot) as it's on it's sidestand, and then swing my left leg over. Same way as I currently mount my DR650
