Are you looking for the seat height or the overall height?

I sat on my buddies at the end of the day and it seemed taller @ 34.3" getting on it but when sitting the same. The Tenere is either 33.3" or 34.3" and I have mine at 34.3". 20230401_132125.jpg20230401_102932.jpg

Social distancing motorcycle parking?
I don't remember why we parked like this. I think there were some bookend vehicles so we just filled in equally. This place is way out it the country in southwest Missouri. We weren't hindering anyone's ability to park :)

Oh I remember - my GS buddy told us we can't part too close! LOL

you really need to sit on them both, the ergos Are completely different. S10 is setup as a street bike, I’m 5’9 and the bars are way too low for standup riding. The tank is fat and the seat is not great getting close to the tank.AT feels natural to stand, tank much narrower, it doesn’t feel as tall because my knees aren’t forced to splay out.

I never noticed the resemblance between these two before. Even more if the Yamaha crash bars were mounted. .

That's interesting and I am sure it is different for each person. I am 6'3" and the tank or bars never bothered me and felt natural. I did put on Helibar setbacks which moved them back and up. Feels much better on the road and I sit back further on the seat. Haven't tried off pavement with them yet but just standing on the road. The AT is a narrower feel.
