Hey, all. I fell in love with a Tenni 15 years ago, before I'd ever ridden a motorcycle. Inspired to ride, but without the bank account for a new Tenni -- or much of anything, for that matter -- I settled on a Yamaha XS 750. After a decade plus of student loans and leaner wallet, I've been able to start filling my stable with bikes (other than UJM): BMW R1200R, R1100RL hack, K100 cafe project, Guzzi V1000 G5 restoration. Although I'd really prefer the Tenni, there's an affordable, one-owner (with service history) 2003 LeMans available for my purchase. Maybe it can be a temporary fix until I find a Tenni. So, the question: Will this bike fit me? I'm about 6'-5", normally proportioned (I'd like to think), 34" inseam. Are the cylinder heads/valve covers going to be a non-issue, a mere nuisance, or a deal-breaker? Unfortunately, I live in BFE Pennsylvania and these bikes don't come up for sale regularly, so I've never sat on one; I'll have to buy this one at a fairly long arm's length. Thanks for any input! Cheers, Frey
