Just put it on gumtree. 

I'm just too tall for the bike, so reluctantly selling it.

I've spent at least a £1000 on it this year and barely ridden it.

Look for something in the region of £2k

Steve, I think you need to commission a custom bike!

haha yes. Something I've been considering for a while!

I'm going back to a firestorm. For some reason I can just about squeeze on to one of them with a bit of modification

I'd always been told an RSV was good for tall riders. Just couldn't fit on it.

They are tall and I see you have the AP rearsets. Have you tried turning the mounting plates upside down as you can drop the pegs up to around 50mm which I found a great help. I accept you are a few inches taller than me.

Yeh tried that. Also fabricated some plates to try making them even lower again. Still really unfortable. I've always ridden sports bikes so wasn't expecting major comfort. Just to be able to ride for more than 20mins!
