I'm 6'0 with 32 inch inseam and it's fine with me. In fact, I was out getting an accessory helmet shielf at the Harley Dealer this weekend and, of course, sat on some Harleys. Many of them felt crampy, particularly the Sportsters. No, the $17,000 heritage soft tails and road kings don't. But that's almost over four times what I paid for the Savage.  I did sit on a Yamaha V-Star Classic previously that felt very good because the foot posts are moved forward. But only a few more horse than a Savage and quite a bit more expensive.  No, the Savage ergos are pretty darned good . Here are some comparisons from a post I made in January, based on a motorcycle magazine comparison:

In the January 2006 issue of Motorcyclist, the magazine does a comparison between 2006 models of the Honda VTX1300C and the Harley Davidson FXDI. They compare specific ergonomics -- distance from seat to handlebars, handlebar rise, and most importantly, to me, distance from the seat center to the footpegs. Well, I measured the Savage and found it was quite a bit less cramped than the $12,480 HD!  

The HD Dyna is 22.7 from seat to pegs.  
The Savage is 26.5  from seat to pegs.  Almost four inches more leg room on a Savage/S40! by my measurements.

The Honda is 28.1, a bit more room, yet.  

All three bikes are about 26 - 26.7 inches from seat center to bars. And the Harley and Savage are nearly identical in bar rise -- 13.3 inches or so.  Two inches more than the Honda.
