My two cents...there's no such thing as a perfect bike, but every ride can be nearly perfect. Before this SC250 my last bike was a Suzuki Boulevard S50 (800 cc) and I really liked it. Only 450 lbs, shaft drive so no chain to worry about, and it felt very nimble and quick. And with my short inseam the low seat height suited me fine. And for long hauls, I found that an Air Hawk cushion can make hours in the saddle much more comfortable.
From one old coot to another, I've got to agree with you!
I too have a short inseam, and back in the sixties, a Harley chopper seemed to fit just right... You'd have loved my "Old Blue"... '57 pan-head chopped to nothing but the motor, frame, tank and wheels.
The old Hog weighed less than 300 pounds, and had over 250hp... And enough torque to dump the clutch at 600 rpm and still smoke the tire. WooHOO! THAT was FUN!
That was 57 years ago, and I still remember the thrill of cranking out quarter-mile times in the low 11's at more than 130... Not crotch-rocket times, but back then, MIGHTY quick!
Have a bone on the old chopper guy, and...
Ride safe!
