We are grown men riding 40 year old motorbikes made for teenagers. We're gonna look ridiculous at any height. Embrace the adventure and have lots of fun while doing it.
Expect to pay $500 to $700 plus the cost of the bike to turn a V1 into a kitted, turnkey machine. My V1 bikes over the last 6 years, most of which are Motron, average to around $275, so kitted and turnkey ought to approach the $775 and up mark.
