Gentlemen,
The guy who I bought my 2008 standard R3 from added footboards and the cruiser seat. With those 2 add-ons, my understanding is that the only difference between my standard bike and a classic is the pull back bars.
I'm 5'11" and about 170 lbs. I've only ridden the bike once due to buying in the off-season - from the guys house to my place so don't have a true feel for her yet. However, I felt I had to sit pretty upright to feel comfortable with the current placement of the bars. I'm used to a more laid back and relaxed cruiser position from my last bike where I'm almost at the back of my seat.
Question is this: What can anyone tell me about the difference in feel between the standard bars versus the pulled back classic bars. Is there much of a difference b/w the two? I'm going to ride for a while with the bars I have to make sure what I felt wasn't just getting used to the bike but just thinking ahead as to whether I should be ordering the classic bars. As always, thanks in advance.
