Sorry Tmeadows for the poke, just thought it was funny, not ment to be harsh nor judgemental. I probably make more mistakes then anyone on here, you'll have to toughin up the skin a little. I also missed your LS suggestion sorry again
I bought an LS and so far feel it was a good deal, as far as the fuel tank behind me goes it does not block anything. My machine is smaller then what you're looking for so maybe the bigger one does block the view. I personally like the fuel tanks location much more user friendly. Another machine you may want to look at are the fotons, they have come along way and IMO are reliable especially in the size you're searching.
