Yes, it felt similar to the stock seat height of a DL650. Honda is narrower, so the actual measurement might be slightly taller. The spec sheet says it's a few ticks over 500 lbs where the Strom is supposed to be about 480, but it sure didn't feel any heavier.
Take all this with a grain of salt if you're under 6 feet tall. I'm long legged and cam flat foot on just about anything. Still, I was struck by how manageable it felt.
Just watch that rear rack if you ever swing a leg over. It caught my knee and hurt like a son of gun.
