I have been riding most of 40 years. I bought this bike for my wife. It fits, I don’t know how it would work for someone over 5'8'' but for her it is just right. The power is smooth and even, the shifting is light crisp, brakes are good and the fit and finish is tops. She had the Harley, too much bike, this is light comfortable and forgiving. Cons, drop a tooth on the front sprocket. The best deal I ever made.
