What does it weigh?
Sat on one at Blade in Stratford on Avon. I’m also five ten but slightly stubbier legs! 30 inch inside leg - couldn’t flat foot it but it wasn’t precarious either. Did feel a fair bit bulkier Than the standard AT which was what I went to test ride. Looks really well in the flesh though and will appeal to a lot of people with its more rugged Styling - bit like standard GS vs GSA. Personally am leaning towards standard as just felt more nimble and the whole reason I sold the GS was to find something with similar qualities but that wasn’t such a bloody great big (although very capable ) lump. Manual only stocks in the UK at the mo apparently though...Sat on one this afternoon. The seat was in the low position but it didn't seem as tall as everyone says . Im about 5ft 10 max and have a 30 1/2 inch inseam and could almost flat foot with both feet. WhenI tried to balance the bike with flat feet both of them were just hovering marginally above the floor and I had not problem putting both feet on the floor with slightly raised heels.
I did seem like your legs were forced slightly further apart than on the standard bike. Weight seemed no different but then the tank was empty. I reckon the extra weather protection from the wider tank would be beneficial.
