Went out and bought me the BMW Rockster. The damn thing was tall (32" seat height) with high center of gravity AND a wet weight of around 600-lbs.

I was as careful as I could be and I dropped that mutha three times within the first week. Couldn't balance it because I wasn't used to the weight and the awkward handling of a bike that is much bigger and heavier than the 250 Nighthawk I rode in MSF course.
Not to derail everybody from shiney vajayjays and silicon valley.... but fnfalman, that bike in the left picture of your sig has a 32" seat height???? No way, that thing looks hella short in the picture. Especially compared to the Tuono next to it.
