That is very frustrating Bob. It sounds like that rx4 is just a tall, heavy bike. If I were you, I would stick to the Triumph and the Ninja!

I remember years ago when my Dad was retiring and riding a bit more, he and I were leaving his neighborhood when I realized I had lost him. He had gotten his foot caught on the right peg and rolled his bike onto the grass on his neighbor's front lawn. It can certainly happen to any of us, regardless of height. He's over 6' tall and was riding a gz250! To be honest, I suspect he was too tall for the bike, sort of like frog legs on a little bike, but either way, tip-overs happen.

I've had heavy bikes (like my old Shadow 1100, like yours), and tall heavy bikes like my bmw, or even my old Honda Hurricane. I'm so happy with my little 250 now it makes me wonder if I even need my SV. We find what fits.
