Any experiences you can share with me would be greatly appreciated thanks! Used to ride an old yz400 as my tallest bike and it was doable back in the day but I'm a lot older now lol.

I just got a Templar X. And it is a pretty big bike. I’m 5’11” and comfortable once seated. But I’m not flat footed on either side. In your regard to age. I’m 56, and one thing I’ve noticed since getting back in to dirt bikes. It used to be a lot easier to throw my leg over the seat on these taller bikes. (:
With that said, I really like the Templar X. It’s a well made bike with many quality and durability features found on much more expensive Japanese and European motorcycles. Welcome to the forum!
