went to Iron Horse motorcycles in Monroe, NC yesterday to ride their demo F6B. I currently ride a Yamaha FZ1 (Bee) and thinking I might want something more suitable for longer tour rides, with the wife.
I enjoyed the F6B a lot, though I do have to get used to the heft, especially compared to the FZ1! But it's quite comfy and a joy to ride. I did find the shifting a bit clunky.
Even though the passenger seat seems to be a lot higher than the rider part, my wife was complaining about it being too low. She is still looking at the back of my helmet, which she seems to find a bit boring. I'm 6'1" and she's 5'2". So what i'm looking for is a seat that
will put her higher so she can see over my helmet
has a good sturdy back rest so she can lean back and relax
These two will be quite important. On my FZ1 I have a Givi case with backrest, so she can lean back. Any idea if the aftermarket seats available could help me out? I've been reading the Corbin reviews but can't really figure out if it would be the solution for us...
