Its a very nice bike, it was my last bike, before honda transalp 2024. My only complaint was too short for travel with pillion.

This was one bike i had also considered but as you mention i didn't like how low to the ground it was and at 6'2 I was a little too tall for it. Plus i didn't like the weight of it.
