Hi everyone , thankyou so much for your replies , i came across another Savage ideal but for price , but just debating whether to pay it or not, heart and head decision as usual . Hi Candice , i like the Bonneville too and it gets good reviews you did not say much about your Savage and if you have been on any travels , i would love to hear what you like about it etc . Thanks once again to all, i enjoyed your replies , will post when and if …. (oh i want it soooooo much) My Partner is vertically challenged also and has the lowest seat there is for his BMW R1100R , he made his 2nd attempt at the Brit Butt Rally last week and his Butt is suffering as a result awwww , he started out on a Baby Blade CBR 400 as a born again biker and it took quite a while for him to attempt to handle his BMW because it is so heavy and he had to have the lowest seat but he has to be careful where he stops especially with me on board. We also possess a wrecked Ducati 600 SS and my little Yamaha SR125 which he bought me to pass my test on and may i say what a terrific little bike for a beginner,it served it,s purpose. I love the Baby Baby Blade CBR250 but then again an Import and few and far between , anyway bye for now i could talk all day about bikes , just want a new one to try , lol Viv
