I picked up a new 2007 Super TT last year and found that it's just a bit too tall for me and I like the sharper handling of the short wheelbase XBs a bit more.

I'm not sure if there's anyone out there in or near Wisconsin that has a newer/lower mileage city cross that's looking to step 'up' to the longer wheelbase and larger motor, but if you are, let me know.

Have you tried the "touring" seat on it? It lowers the seat height by about an inch, and is far more comfy IMHO.

I got a touring seat for sale if you are interested.

Thanks for the advice and I already have a touring seat on it. It helped, but not enough. I think the extra firmness offset how low it was.

Plus, it's not really just the height. I like how the steering geometry of the short wheelbase feels and, despite the slight decrease in power, I like the character of the 984 motor more than the 1203.
