You bought it without trying it? Lovely looking bike, colour scheme not for me but am sure it will put a big smile on your face.

Very nice was soooooo tempted by one of these untill i read about its gearbox and FI gremlins, Though this only effects the early models.
Wouldnt usually have put me off but i need an everyday bike.

Thats good.

Unfortunatly my budget was unwilling to stretch to a newer RC8 or a limted edition .

I was SO close to actually going out and buying one.

[Werny]

There's just something about those RC8's that get me semi-stiff.

[Noxious89123]

[P.addy]

5' 11''

Just, couldn't get fully "on it" felt like it was too fat for me, I'm quite light and stuff, I find the GSXR750 a rocketship sized bike

[Sam_Y_93]

Utterly gorgeous!

Had a sit on one of these and I'm about 5'6" and found it very reasonable, I wasn't even on tip toes.

Very jealous. I do love the RC8 even if all my mates think it is hideous.

Only 10 months until I can afford to insure a proper sports bike...although there is no way I'd be able to afford to buy anything that new

[shamone]

Great looking bike - really stands out from the norm and with all those angles it's completely undetectable by radar

[Wave2k]

Height is less important.

I friend of mine squeezes himself onto a VFR400 and he is 6"2.

No, whats more important is width


Ive seen some right fat buggers on sport bikes, how the hell they get off it ill never know.

Wow, very unique looking, I can dig it!

I saw a KTM dirt bike thing earlier, I like the anal exhausts
