Hi

I have been toying with replacing my 02 RSV mille with the current version.
As I am 6'3" I have been told that the new bike may be to small for me. Some of the trips I go on can run up to 5k miles so comfort is useful.

Would like to hear from anyone that has owned or got expereance of both.
Cheers

I haven't ridden an older one but I feel OK on my Factory and I'm 6'5". Can only suggest you go and get a test ride.

I've picked up my 06 Factory R three weeks ago - and though it's still being run in (not too long to go now....) -it's really quite usable - it's my commute bike to work every day.

A friend of mine rode it for about 30 miles (he's 6' 2" and says that it worked for him - although he thought that he would need a double bubble screen.

Hope this helps.
