wish i was smaller/shorter to be able to ride those small twins well. looking at the specs, these could be built to match a good CB450/500T performance

well im 6ft 164lbs, so it didnt seem to awkward as I sat on it. :wow:

 

well, add 4" and 15 lbs and it gets tighter....

had a great four seasons on a 72' CB500/4 but my head was ABOVE the rev counter in riding position! If the GS450 is as tight as the CB450 racer i sat upon once, then it's a no go for me.

moved on to a GPZ750 this season and i sure have now more room to move about.

Dunno why not. You can change the gearing and redo the seat. Mine had 8k on it when I bought it, spent about a grand on it (including the purchase) and now it has close to 30k commuting miles on it. Mostly problem free once I got it sorted (I bought it in pieces, looked like some of it had been living under a swimming pool).
