What type of riding are you going to be doing? Mostly long distance? It
seems like a very standard riding position to me, which is good for lots
of body sizes.

I've only ever sat on one, but I'm about 210 pounds and I did notice
that the forks seemed a little soft for me, and they aren't adjustable
in any way. Check out recent photos from corks on how he solved this
problem, he put on an ST4S front end.

a mate of mine has one , he's a good 6 foot plus a bit and prolly just under
a 100pd and rides one quite well

however he has changed the forks , the rear shocks and also put on lower
bars

check out the forums ducati.ms and then the sport classic sub forum - lotsa
info there
