Tall riders, exhaust etc. questions (looking for my 2nd bike)
#5
I'm 6'6", 36" inseam, and find my DLX to be perfectly comfortable for ~300 mile days. More than that and the seat begins to let me down. The bike is stock. I have no need or desire to modify it.

I eagerly demo'd a Triumph Street Twin this summer. It rode like a HD Sportster -- torquey, great exhaust note, low redline, easy, neutral steering, lots of fun for urban riding, but not as polished or refined as the CB1100 (which admittedly has a very high bar) and probably nothing I'd be able to ride for long distances. YMMV. I came away unable to consider the two bikes as peers, although I know others do.
