Oh dear, I've bought a RSVR Mille and it's brilliant apart from 1 thing: I don't fit!
The bars are too far away from the seat and my toes barely touch the ground.
Everything else about the bike is fantastic, but the discomfort of riding it means I've only taken it out 3-4 times in the month I've owned it.
So descision time! I have two choices:
I'm tilting towards selling the bike at the moment as I have no guarntee that the variobars will make the ride comfortable enough and it's a lot of money.
If I were to buy another bike I'm thinking of a Ducati Monster S4 or maybe a Suzuki SV1000. I definately want another twin, budget is about £3K. I'm thinking that a faired sports bike isn't really what I want these days though. Something for easy riding, touring up and down the UK and into Europe but still capable enough to go round corners without tying itself in knots. Open to things like the SV in cornering ability as I can upgrade the suspension to handle plenty well enough.

- Spend £400 on a Variobar kit and new throttle cables & brake lines to bring the bars up and towards me.
- Sell the RSVR and buy something else.
