I sat on a zr900 a couple weeks ago - no way I’m going back to that. One of the reasons why I dumped my '99 670HO. It was just taking up space in the garage but also, no one wanted to ride it. My knees and back are fucked up and my kid is taller and longer legs than me now. Would be fun in the lake, but I'm glad it's gone and I got my $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't force you to ride with your ankles behind your knees but let you ride with your center of mass wherever you wanted it. Could stand comfortably without killing your back hunched over, or sit and ride groomed flat stuff for miles. Fit me well at 6'5" Sat on a friend's Wildcat 700 in his garage over the holidays and felt like I was using one of those Squatty Potty toilet boosters. What do you ride now? 6'4" here. Some sleds feels like the COG is too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound alone was...... I even enjoy ripping around on my 96 Vmax 4. Knee's feel like they are at your hands, steers hard as fuck but man on man that sound is worth it. They need to have a support group for people like me. "Hi....my name is Highmark and I have a problem.....I'm addicted to old 2 stroke triples and quads."

smokin george Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 One of the funniest things we saw years ago was a guy on an old Indy. The guy was 6'8" and his knees were as high as his hands. I doubt it was comfortable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
