First ride on the APEX. I am used to riding SRX and Viper's. The APEX bars are a bit high. After the first 15 minutes my right hand went total pins and needles. I rotated the bars down about 1/2 inch and it made a world of difference. No more numb fingers!!!!!!!!!!!

Gas mileage first tank, not over 6000 RPM ever 15 mpg.
 
HANDLE BAR HEIGHT

Yeah I also rotated the throttle a bit. I did not lewer the bars that much and I can still stand up. WOW what a different experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could never stand up on the SRX or Viper.

Tell you what though, I rode the APEX GT all day and switched off the SRX at night and the SRX still does it for me. Not saying that I don't like the APEX, but the SRX will always be in my garage. I gues the APEX experience will be better when I can redline the SOB!!!
 
I need at least 2" more riser. I am just over 6'1" but have a tall upper body. I like to stand when I ride & Attak riser ain,t enuff.
 
i was thinking the same thing, ide like to put a 2 inch riser on, get a little more height without messing with all the cables. do you guys know who makes a good one, i dont mind spending more money i just dont want a cheap looking or made one..
