Really?

Most modern bikes I've tried have the same or less space than my T140. The only modern bikes built to adult sizes are tourers& things like our GSX14s. Sports bikes seem to be the size of 125s.
At 6ft 2in I dwarfed my T160, Commando's also seem small saying that my mates Z1B still seems big, perhaps the T140 is larger due to it's OIF.

My Commando seems tiny compared to modern bikes; even non bike people comment that when I nip to work on it!
