It's not even half full yet. There is room for a whole layer of bikes on top of the first layer.Sorry, it's full.

He started riding around five years ago. While I have mentioned to him that having both feet on the ground is not a must, he doesn't feel comfortable.If hes an experienced rider, I dont think height is a big issue, many shorter guys ride adv bikes all day
Maybe look at smaller monsters? They might be closer to the ground?
I've not considered the Guzzi. I'll bring it to his attention. Thanks.How about a Moto Guzzi V7 or V85TT?
The V7 is low enough I'd imagine, has the Italian vibe and sound and appears to be a sturdy, reliable low running cost bike. They're also not terribly expensive used.
Hmmmm........Maybe I want one!
Yeah, I think you're right. I'll suggest he search for some Monsters in Mexico so he has an idea. Thanks.Comfort is so subjective. The only person who will be able to tell if a particular bike is comfortable or not is your dad.
Is there a Monster 1200 for sale in your dad's country that he can sit on? Even a current MY Monster might have the same ergos if he walks into a dealer and asks to sit on one.
I can understand where he's coming from.He started riding around five years ago. While I have mentioned to him that having both feet on the ground is not a must, he doesn't feel comfortable.
I think in the lowest setting, the Monster 1200 has a seat height of 785mm(30.9 in), which is good enough for him. Other smaller monsters seem to have a higher height example the 797's seat height is 805mm.

Gotta love Kawi. If they get it right they don't change for a long time (think KLR and Concourse)
Likely 'cause people compare the new ones at $21k to Harleys or Indian's equivalent at $10k more and say it's a no-brainer to buy the Kawi ... of course not knowing what we know about them.Like I said, I’ve no idea why anyone would buy a new one at $$$ when there’s a ton of cream puff garage queens out there for $ instead. But I guess they must still be selling.
BP if you are considering used bikes, this old Multi 1200 might be an option.Trying to be sensible and maybe buy an old used bike, I know!
