I'm 5'6" and I felt cramped, so I added forward controls which made a huge difference. But at times I still found myself sitting on the back of the seat. I also have a Volusia which fits me great, but once again I added forward controls, so it comes down also to riding style not just height. Jen

6'1" & 32" inseam. For me it felt fine on short rides, like the 35 minute commute to work, but longer rides were really bad. I raised my seat & cut off that hump & it made a huge difference. I can ride for hours now with no aching back or legs. Butt hurts after a couple of hours though.

Please explain "cut off that hump". I have a 32"inseam as well and get monkey but after only 15 minutes. I have raised the front of the saddle many moons ago.

I've had 5 other bikes, all of which were to tall for me. This bike seems to be made for people of a shorter stature. My husband is 6' and riding my bike causes his legs to cramp up, so... Sarah

I've got the one-piece S40 seat & I was always wanting to scoot back more to give me more legroom, but that step up to the pillion was in the way. I took off the cover & cut the foam back all the way to the plastic seat base, where it curves up. I could scoot back another 2 or 3 inches & it felt a lot better. I've since cut off the pillion part altogether since it was too small to be of use anyway.

Had an S40 Jul '04-Jan '07
