Brammo Spied?

[860]

I also compared it to a photo of my current ride (SV650), and the geometry seems fairly similar, which was something I'm hoping for.  I really like seating position on my SV650.  Does anyone know who the rider is, and how tall they are?

Someone posting on the automedia.com site is saying "That would be Steveo there ttxgp racer" in the pictures.  Can anyone tell me how tall Steveo is? 

the word is--about 5'6"--

Cool!  That tells me exactly what I wanted to know.  Based on that, I should have a nice upright position with a nice comfortable bend in the elbows.  It looked like he was having to straight-arm the bars in the pictures, which looked a little hard on the shoulders/upper back for an old guy like me.   I can't wait for a test ride!

I've been asked by the photographer to pull down the photos.  
So, Lastb0isct and anyone else who re-published that photo, could you please modify your posts?

Just saw your post. I'll modify my post.

Edit: Guess it doesn't need modifying.

Also, if that guy it 5'6" i might be SOL.  I'm 6'4"...anyone else tall out there?  Are these shocks height adjustable?!

I don't think the rider in those photos is 5'6"

According to my sources, he is 5'6".

Steve may be 5'6", I'm certainly not going to argue about that, I've never met him so I have no idea. And really, since I've never seen the production Empulse in person I may have my scale off. I'm just saying that the rider in the spy photos looks closer to 5'8". Are we sure the rider in these shots is Steve? Is the Empulse that compact that a 5'6" looks that much taller?

I sat on the original pre-production Empulse last year and it was about the same size as any modern large sport bike. I would guess that its seat height was about 32 inches off the ground.

I'm 5'9"+ with a 32" inseam. The rider looks like he'd be able to stand over that seat as comfortably as I could. This makes me think that the rider in those pictures is not Steve. Unless there are other factors at play that I haven't thought about since I'm still busy with a) work that I should be doing instead of b) drooling over these pictures.

6'4", too.  Craig is a big guy, so I'm banking on him keeping taller guys in mind during production.

Isn't eating your knees and humping the gas tank what sports bikes are all about

Which is why I'm more a Plus guy.
