weirdoku Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 First tell us specifically which yaabaa you are talking about.Second, it's hard to to say if the geometry on your first bike is suitable for you. You really won't know unless you have had a few goes on several differnt geos. I started with a long mod, 1030mm wheelbase but found I'm much more comfortable on a short mod at 1005mm wheelbase.

weirdoku Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 it is a yaabaa 499 that i like or would the senior be betterYaabaa 499's wheelbase is 990mm, that's on the short end of the wheelbase scale (someone correct me if I'm wrong). You may feel rather cramped, as in when you are on the bike, your arms might be closer to you body.How tall are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
