Newbie who is 6’2” and 190, mostly legs. I test sat on a 2014 at a dealer as well as a Vstrom. I found both felt (stationary) pretty similar, but noticed that my knees locked into the Versys very nicely, but my knee rested on the point of the Vstrom fairing when sitting forward. Seat height is great on either, and Versys reviews as more nimble. As a taller guy, I am looking for a Versys based on this comparison.
