• Ciao Guest, The owner of this website and GTMotoCycles.com lost his home completely on the morning of January 8th in the L.A. Wildfire Storm. Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone in this horrific disaster.

I'm looking for info on a 15k Mandello that is at Moto AZ in Mesa. Anyone here know this bike. Someone rode it and most have gone for something else.
I'd like to get one but am afraid my old fricken body might not fit right. A few years back I had a 1200S which I loved but could ride without pain. Now I have a Triumph 1200 Speed Twin which works pretty well for me, very good bike, but I'm lusting for something else.
 
Guys, I’m going to start posting when I revise hyperlinks. They are NOT OK here. I am exhausted in chasing these as my life is upside down right now.

I'm in AZ north phoenix area. Not sure on his name but he used to post here. I am 5'10" and have logged 26k on mine. Very comfortable.
 
I’m 5’9” with slightly short legs, and it works well for me even with very long trips (570 miles on one days at tops).
But as always, some people prefer straighter line for the legs, or either lean more forward or sitting more upraised.
You can buy other comfort (and heated) OEM seats, either lowered or taller one.
But the standard is comfortable and will support you the whole long days (not the soft type that gives in after an hour or two).
And you can adjust the handle bar angle.
Also you can buy after market foot peg sets that gives you even more adjustment for your legs.
So to start with the comfort is generally appreciated, and if you want you can easily adjust for your likings.
