I don't know if it's me or what...

But this past weekend trackdays, left me riding our 750 more when this thing left a nice bruise on the inside of my knees.

Because of the ridge on the tank?

The seat on these bikes is more of a squared off shape - on my gixxer the seat edges are very rounded but on the Aprilia it squares slightly so when hanging off that edge apparently dug into the back/side of his knee and bothered him.

and yeah he's had it almost 3 months now, it's about time to sell it for something else..:dvrofl:

You and Skiergirl have it both right.

For some reason I hang off different than everyone else who has this bike, because I'm the only one who complains about that position. It's just weird to me and it rubbed my leg sore...

So if I can't be comfortable on it, I shouldn't be on the track with it.

Ya for years I beat around the bush on it, because I didn't want that squid stigma attached to it. And quite frankly, Skiergirls' 05 750 can be a pain in the ass to work on and after eye'ing several suzukis from different years, they all seem to have the same traits.

If this bike didn't hurt to ride, it wouldn't be going anywhere. But out of the 5 people I know with the bike, I'm the only one who has an issue with the ergonomics. Everyone else is as tall or big as me as well, so it's not necessarily due to it being a small mans' bike, I guess it's just my riding style.
