Default meanstreaks ride

Needing Help BAD. I've been out of bike riding for a number of years and the itch is back. I'm 55 years young, and in great shape. I've looked at a number of bikes in the last three months and am sold on the meanstreak. I'm 5'9' tall and weigh about 175lbs. My question is how does the meanstreak ride? The handlebars look a little far forward. Are they a reach, will I need risiers or are they ok the way they are? How is the model for 3 hour trips or maybe a little longer? Thanks, Mike

Welcome to the forums Mike...

A buddy of mine has a mean streak. He has no probs taking those 300-400 mile trips with us.. You should be fine. Glad to see you are getting back into the game..

Thanks Big Rig, looking forward to the wind in my face again. The MS just looks so bad. I just don't want to make a mistake and buy the wrong bike. Mike
