Suggested Proportions

With a little help from an internet picture, a ruler, and a calculator:

Seat hight about 32 inches

Wheel Base 59.5 inches

Distance to drivers pegs 21 inches

Depending on stature looks like a 85 degree bend @ knee and only a slight lean forward to reach the bars. Hope this helps!!!!!!

That's cool, thanks! At least now I can build a wood mock-up of the bike and pretend I'm riding it

Dealers here in Europe expect to get their first GTR's at the end of next year... that's a long wait bros

Stef

PS: for us metric folks your measurements translate into

seat height 800 mm
wheelbase 1488 mm
pegs dist. 525 mm

Say whaaaaaat?!

That's no good, Stef, where are you hearing this from?

Review articles here in the States call for the bike to be here in late April (which likely means sometime in the summer, given their history)

But the end of next year for Europe?! That seems odd...

Warchild,

I was taken aback, too....

The source is one of the largest Kawi dealers here in the Milan area. This is where the majority of GTR's will be sold --- guy oughta know.

Yet it would not be the first time less-than-accurate info is circulated...

I'll keep my ears & eyes open. I've got other sources, too

Stef
