Look again, theyve reduced the score to 17 now for some reason. Probably thought 19 was too high for a toyota..

I have the opposite but same problem at 5' 7". I refuse to ride a cruiser, and every other bike has either not enough pullback or is way too tall. I ride a Honda 919 (Hornet) now with 1.5" pullback risers and its pretty good. About the only other thing that fits "off the rack" is a Goldwing.

I hit the same problem as an average-height female riding a motorcycle. Both Kawis I have bought I have had to lower at least a couple of inches to feel comfortable. I'm currently building a bobber and trying to build forward controls that aren't too far away for my short 5'6" legs lol

Yeah. They need to do a test drive. Basically they don't think it looks that good. It costs too much but it comes with RWD, LSD and boxer engine.

Hence why it didn't get it's own thread. It's a preview of what [impressions] we might be in for when they get around to testing.

Sorry for wasting your time

Have to agree even by comparing to their prices, they're overpriced.

It's telling that there is still not real set in stone pricing on them here, and we're just a handful of months away. Toyota/Subaru are really waiting it out to get the lowest price on the car as possible, as it's needed. Right now the current guesstimates out there I'd say it's way overpriced. The top of the line BRZ should come in at $24,999 for example.
