RE: My Height ?
Well how tall is too tall? im 6'2 and it does seem kinda awkward on some turns, and i can basically stand flat foot on any bike. Should my suspension be set higher because of this. or is being able to flat foot a good thing? Ive always thought it never really mattered

I'm 5'8" and I can barely get both feet flat. Dealers will tell you should be able to get both feet flat for the bike to be a good fit. I would go with whatever is most comfortable for you. Let's face it, if you're riding it ride your feet shouldn't be on the ground much anyway, right?[:@]

I'm only 5'3" and I ride an RR. Can BARELY tiptoe both sides when wearing my riding boots (Vertebra 2's) but I haven't had any problems. I usually only drop one foot (like they teach in the safety course) when I stop. I'll admit, I've dropped it twice at a stand still (no marks), but that was only because I lost my friction point when I was trying to take off, and stalled it. Doh! When I do it right, and don't screw up, I'm fine.
Anyways, just another (midget's) opinion. Good luck with your search.
