Look buddy imnot a small guy. Knowing and riding and doing my own wrenching for 45 years I've learned s few things. The B has a very low center of gravity. I think mosthiys agree it feels more like a 700 lb bike than an 850 lb bike. It handles extremely light. This thing corners like a dream. I'm always kidding and saying if you raise the.pegs I'm ready for Moto GP. Leave the preload down on the rear shock. That keeps seat height down. They do make a seat that drops you 1 inch. If your legs are in shape I think you will be fine. The B balances a lot better than your VTX.
