Looking on buying one

[Janet]

Looks like a really nice bike, must admit one thing, even though i love my Gen 1 i much prefer the black engine look.

I do realise that - the pegs are spot on for the riding position. It just seems to be more of an issue on this bike than most others I've owned. If really tricky manoeuvring is required I tend to do it from off the bike.

Respect Janet...i can barely move mine off the bike and paddling is quite a sight too  :lol

Ah ... yes ... but I'm a real wimp. I leave the sidestand down so that if I start to lose my balance I can simply put it back onto the stand and no harm done. I only generally do this for pushing backwards (the engine helps if I'm going forward  ), as there's always a risk when pushing forwards of lightly grounding the stand and not realising that it is no longer in its fully forward position.
