Hi  :) Looking for some advise on X-Challenge and figured this to be the best place to ask. I  am considering  buying one. I am 6'4" tall (196cm) and weigh in at 105kg........ok, I'm not exactly huge but will this bike still be suitable for me? I have an F800GS, and 1200GSA, but wish to have something smaller for slightly more technical stuff, and something lighter I can use for trips to Die Hell, Baviaanskloof, Lesotho, etc.......getting a little long in the tooth (49) for picking up even the F800GS. I would upgrade shocks, add raisers, etc, but would like to hear if there are similar sized, or larger, guys riding this bike. Thank you in advance for all feedback. Cheers, Steen  :thumleft:

(Moved via copy by me from X-Chellenge thread as I thought it best to ask via own thread)
