Anyone down here within 100miles of Hatfield with a Cyclone I can look at? It suddenly occurred to me that this might be a viable "up" from the Blast.
Cheers in advance

Hi Sarah - I have a 2001 M2 - happy to pop down Hatfield Way sometime and expound the virtues of what IMO is a very under rated bike. cheers

Cheers in advance Sarah Try an X1 Sarah they have a very narrow seat so are relatively easy to reach the floor.........very nice bikes to ride and there is a lot of female X1 owners about...and if you can, buy a 2001 model

I've got a Corbin seat on my X1 and Mrs Adam finds it much easier to ride than 'her' XBSs. Not that I let her ride it much because it's the best bike I've EVER owned  Forgot to add, she's 5'4''

Just found my manual and it gives the X1 seat height as 31inch / 78.7cm not sure how that compares to M2's and xb's but like i said the seat is very narrow on the X1 but comfy enough for 500+ miles a day. They did do an M2low as well but have never come across one

love my M2 specially since i did some performance enhancements - mikuni and sticky new bridgstones oh and new ear plugs to block out the mechanical pain of an old evo motor you can get a shorter shock to lower the seat height saw one one ebay recently from the M2 low - guess hardley solventson would sell you one or you might be able to get a custom one as the factory ones are crap - FTF |

You don't need to spring for the price of a Corbin, there's loads of places where you can get your seat - sorry, your bike's seat re-stuffed. If you spec better quality padding, you will probably get more comfort at the same time. |

I think Tubbs can get top quality upholstery done with Gel padding. |
