Im a sm/med size bloke, 5'9" & 68kgs with shortish legs. Double tip toes standing still, or 1 foot flat. I would also agree that the side stand took a hell of a lot of getting use to. The PITA for me was deploying it, I ended up with a 2 stage shuffle happening. I cant reach the s/s when its down, so I do enjoy the auto retract.

Montmil, this is entirely inappropriate for this thread. Rear shocks, tire air pressure, even wheelie tactics. But kickstands? Disappointed in you. :geek:
