new bike advise

[phantom309]

Pop around for a go on my X-ADV with my foot pegs, see how they fit..only down the A55 at Holywell would make a nice ride..

That would be great . been ages since we had a meet up.. think last time was ether raven cafe or when you serviced my sym gts ...lol
the feet pegs do look good... plus add more range for you to move around to get comfy again...hows the seat over distance ? 100/200 mile days out ?

Well, consider both the X-ADV and Integra (if you like the engine/DCT), unless you really need the X-ADV's off road pretensions. I found the X-ADV riding position quite natural, but its TALL.
I'm not entirely sure what you are actually looking for in your new bike/scoot. My answer is always to buy a Tmax!!! But I can't really tell from your post whether it would suit or not.

iv'e had the mk1 t-max. an loved it . but after sitting on the new ones . i can't reach the floor. lol. an as for the integra it's down to looks . i prefer the off road style look..

Well, if you can't reach the floor on the new Tmax, you certainly won't on the X-ADV! When I test rode it, when I stopped at lights I remember that I seemed to have to lower my foot a very long way before I reached the ground. The snag with the new Tmaxs is that the tunnel is wide and high - the seat itself is basically the same height from the floor as before.

I had no problem as standard but i could only get my toes down. I put Lust Racing 30mm low dog bones on mine and all is OK, i did not bother dropping the forks through the yolks as i did the sums and it was only some thing like 6.8mm so did not bother and all is ok.
