I was reading a bit about the 1200 today and was wondering if the seat height was purely. Rider height thing or if it changes the way the bike rides. I am a touch under 6ft (ok maybe an inch) so have no problems touching the floor on height 31.5 setting but just wondered what the lower setting would feel like with being sat more in the bike.

I have lowered it down and it doesn't feel cramped so going to give it a crack over the weekend I think. Just wondered what you guys thought it would do to handling etc ???

Cheers

It would make so little difference that you couldn't tell.

Depends on your skill level. As a rider you are the heaviest addition to the bike. Changing the height will lower the centre of gravity. A good rider on a track would feel the difference easily I'd imagine. Things like that can be felt in cars so I'd be very surprised if the same, or more, wasn't true of bikes where the rider is a huge % of the total weight.

So the question really is, how good are you :)
