Default saying hi

Welp just decided that its about time to get a car, bought a Ducati Monster s2r at the begining of summer but the fact that i was stranded at home if it rained and the fact that winter is fast approaching have forced me to start looking for a 2 wheel upgrade. Been thinking about trying to buy my mothers s2k, its a 2000 with 6k miles on it, things been babied for the past 6 years like you wouldn't believe due to her working for honda and what not, but everytime i get in the thing my eyes are about dead even with the top of the windshield, i can't see jack, guesse its just another disadvantage of being six foot 2. If there was a way around it i would jump all over it but it really doesn't look like theres anyway to make the car more comfortable for long sits so i'm off looking for a similar, but larger car, been looking at an rx8 but don't really know eneough about the particular market. I've "borrowed" the s2k for the time being though so we'll see if i can "grow" into it. I leave for boot camp in about 18 days but untill than i'll be around, sorry i couldn't bring any beer or donuts.

No beer or doughnuts? You're outta here!

Seriously, it's true that the top of the windshield is a PITA sometimes, but I'm surprised it's that much of an issue. For me (admittedly shorter than you) it blocks my view of stoplights, but not the road.

Enjoy the car, since you're lucky enough to be able to try it out for a while from your mother.

You will NOT find a simular car
Can't you lower the seat?
Or sleep upside-down!
