Hi I have an X-ADV and I'm slightly smaller than you being just under 5'10. Ergonomics is a very personal thing, however I find the bike is extremely comfy for me, but there you go. Yep it is tall in the saddle and it was an issue that played on my mind before I got the bike. However, as the miles rise I've found the suspension has settled and I'm not struggling quite as much as I was at the start of my ownership. The bike is indeed a weighty machine and could do with 20kg being knocked off the weight. I do find having the tall rear end makes the bike easier to control while manually reversing it into my garage than my previous Bonneville 1200 (a bike as bland as a bland thing on a very bland afternoon).
I'll keep it for a couple of years and see what it's like when i'm pushing 60...
