Bandit for tall rider with a bad knee?

[donvx800]

Hello all, I am looking at a 2007 Bandit 1200 this PM. I am 6'4" tall with a bad knee. I need to to stretch it every 10 - 15 minutes. I have a VX800 that I love, once I put engine guards and highway pegs on her. Any ideas about the Bandit? The first time I sat on one it seemed very cramped. Any ideas?

One word...V-Strom!

Since Buell went under, I'm curious about this too.

Seriously, friend ofmine ...6ft 1in, just got his 1000 V-strom (DL) and hes on demi point sometimes. Tall bike, but very nimble, flickable and low end torque, not quite as fast off then line as the bandit, but its a better bike for touring I think, and if your used to Vtwins like you say with your old VX800, My guess is you'll love the Vstrom. at 6' 4", itd be a good fit and youd be hard pressed to find another suitable bike for taller riders such as yourself at this price point.
