Does anybody know the seat height please ??

will check to see if it was listed in MCN when they tested it but its at home and im at work

MCN has already tested it?

I mean a FULL test with specs, not a quick ride impression at the Spanish press release?

got MCN ... its a kinda full test from spain but it doesnt mention seat height

yep, we don't get the UK MotorCycle News (MCN) here.

we get Motorcycle Consumer News(MCN).

Actually Celtic I believe we can get UKMotorCycle News here... I know we get UKs Bike, but it sells for like $10 a copy.

I knew what he was talking about, I just figured it wasn't a full article with COMPLETE specs...which is sometimes about 1/2 a page with only a couple of few specs.

its a 4 page spread :) i will check as im sure the specs were listed on one of the pages, although not listed like specs, as interviews with the testers, designers and such like

THANKS MAN - you rock!

not a prob Kev and as soon as the dealer gets one i will let you know what its like compared to my 1200N

So looking at the numbers compared to a 1200R -

there's a hair less rake, but a tad more trail.

The wheelbase is for all essential purposes the same.

Weight, I wonder if that number is wet or dry?

1200R numbers are 565 dry / 585 wet.

If that's a WET number (I can hope can't I), that's an improvement.

As a matter of fact, IF that's a wet number that's about the same as my Breva.

Seat height sounds a hair taller than the 1200R - again exactly at my Breva's dimensions (with the lower seat I put on the Breva)...
