G'day Nigel,
Like the others say, you do get used to it, I had a Triumph T140v (similar to what you are looking for), I used jump on & no worries until I was a fair way into
the ride on some beautiful country road & then have to do a mental check as I approached the corner or intersection, didn't happen very often & was only gear
changes, not breaking. I will be interested to hear what you think of the OIF'er, my Trumpy was a super reliable bike & very smooth, but I was never happy with
the handling, & as you already know, you sit up a bit higher, doesn't quite feel right, I would never buy another OIF bike, just my opinion.
regards, Cus
