Next bike help please

[Triple J]

I'm 5'5.

Don't give up.  I'm 5'8" (and a half  ) and rode a stock 1200GS just fine. The stock Multi is a piece of cake. My wife is 5'3" and she rode a Multi 620 with a lowering link. That's since been sold but she can ride my Multi with the shaved seat on it. A lot of it is just getting used to not flat footing the bike.

There are ways to get pretty much any bike you want.  The KTM 990 Adventure may be out though...that bike is friggin' tall!

I'd say BMW 1200GSA, if only to satisfy my sense of proportion 

That is a massive bike.

I'd go for the latest Z1000

The Z is at the top of the list.  I haven't sat on one yet though.  I did sit on the previous Z and liked it a lot.

I do like the KTMs, but they are all really tall it seems.

new multi, new multi, new multi.

Everything I've seen so far is saying it's the shizzel, and with the S you get fully adjustable electronic Ohlins. I haven't been to a dealer that has one yet but I'd be willing to bet the seat height isn't as bad as the bimmer and they will probably offer a low seat option too considering that they want it to be an all around bike.

I'm only 5'6" and I just fit the Hyper on tip toe. But once under way it was a ball so if the multi is near that tall and only a bit heavier I would think it would be a very worthy consideration.

It might be worth posting a note or to the folks at Duc Sea or AMS and seeing if you can get all the specifics about it. I'm betting that they're going to be pretty hard to get once they finally start hitting dealers floors.

The new Multi S looks like it will be nearly $21000 + tax, PDI, etc here in Canada.  Even if I wasn't so cheap, (which I am) I can't see myself paying that much for a bike.  I could get several bikes for that.  Everything I have read indicates that it is a great bike though.
