I’d almost forgotten that one. When I was looking around, I was doing the one-leg thing, trying to hold the bike up and get an idea of how it would feel on the road. And I kept coming back to the GS500 and the like, with the more upright position. Then I tried one that had a center stand. THAT was an eye-opener. Once I could get both feet on the pegs, I realized that I was still very comfortable with the bars lower because I could use my legs and core to supprt myself. With one foot on the floor, I couldn’t do that.
YMMV.
