The weight is noticeable on the SCR when you have to push it without power, because of it's height. Once it gets going, it's torquey as hell and extremely comfortable to ride for a tall rider like yourself. It's a good bike, with low clearance for adventures. Once you can get past that clearance problem and know your limitations, it will certainly be one of your favorites. A small modification or two really makes it sound even better and faster: airbox and computer flash.

No, that just denotes the Euro/rest of the world (ie non-US) spec. The paint on the tank, and the side panels are slightly different, too (in fact, the same as mine!!!
)Black wheels, too

I swapped my foot pegs for Tenere pegs. The ones with the rubber insert but metal claws around the perimeter. The ends are more rounded and don't have the sharp bits sticking out on the end that tore up my calves. The location is still in the way when walking the bike, but collisions with my leg hurt less. For what it's worth, I read the same thing about the peg placement on the Royal Enfield Interceptor and when I tried it out, they were definitely in the same area. So were the Triumph Scrambler's when I tried that out. I think it's just a mid-mount control issue made a little worse by the Yamaha's sort of wide bottom end.
I've gotten used to it after a couple months but I still notice it from time to time. That said, it really only is noticeable when I'm trying to put the bike away. I now generally get off the bike and walk it backwards into the garage instead of trying to walk while seated on it.
