I want to move up to something with more power and since I already have an auto trans. I thought the NC was the ideal bike. I have been browsing here for a few months and everyone seems pretty happy with their purchase. I still need to save up some more money but I went to the dealer today just to touch the machinery. Well, I knew the NC was tall but I could not touch the floor at all. I am 5'5" with a 28" inseam. The salesman had to hold the bike just to get it vertical. When I put my foot down the bike leaned at least 15 degrees. I don't think I could support that for long at a light. I have seen some aftermarket mods here that people have done but it's frustrating that I can't get a factory lowered bike. If I forgo the automatic for just a grand more I can get a factory lowered bike in the form of the F700GS. Is that what Honda was going for?
It seems that I am just the customer that the NC Auto was designed for, transitioning from a scooter to a bike but to do it I have to do a mod that may or may not affect the handling and is not factory tested. Seems a little frustrating to me.
