Dude, $6K for a brand new '14 in Merrillville, IN. My riding buddy who is also 5'6" rode one and thought it was very manageable. I believe they make a lowering kit, maybe just the seat. Were I riding many miles for a living, this is the bike I'd buy, not the most exciting but clearly, clearly the most practical and utilitarian. And it has a FRUNK!
Oh yeah, and see if you can get the dealer to throw in the heated grips to close the deal. You'll need and love them.
