So; I ve been checking getting and settle on my Honda Aero shadow. Problem is that I ve found all the logging roads and trails around here far more interesting than rolling miles on the pavement.:

Couple problems right now I am waay top heavy in my payments.. Trying to work something out.... I am also vertically challenged and not as flexible as I was once so yeah 32" is about my max seat height. Higher's just plan uncomfortable!
My favorites right are the BMWG310GS and Royal Enfield Himalayan both around $5000.00 though the Beemer's on a no sale hold until the front brake re-call is corrected.
I do like the RPS Magician and the Lofan X-Pect. Doing ones own basic fixes is part of the appeal of motorcycling before everything went high Tech.
the Local Honda dealer has a 30 day waiting list for shop work!!???

Welcome to here! Don't rule out taller Chinese dual sports because people have successfully lowered them a bit and/or carved down the seat.

Welcome! I have the bms250 as we are height challenged. Culcune is correct as we lowered the bike and cut the seat. Check out my thread and northrider thread. Any other questions please ask.
