It took me exactly one #### up and I haven't pulled into a downhill parking spot since.

I couldn't push that 1200 backward if there was any type of upward angle behind me because I have short legs and even with lowering it, it was still rather high for me....I would have to get whomever was with me to give me a push

The V Strom was the same way before I lowered it. I couldn't back it up over the crown in the road in front of my house

Oh, but, I did and a buddy pushed the bars for me at the same time and pointed a few things out on the off chance I hadn't been paying enough attention.

I'm sure you've already talked to DR but, I think his SG is lowered, stock, an inch or so? And they have a seat, narrower in the front than stock, some call it the 'chick' seat, that effectively lowers the bike another 1-2" because it doesn't splay your legs as far apart, allowing the not so long legged among us to get their feet on the ground.
'07 and up is 6 gears IIRC as well as 96' and 6 gal tank. Buddy has an '06 that is 5, 88 motor and smaller tank. Get the bike, man!
You are correct on the '07 and 6 gears. It was in 08 that they added the 6 Gallon tank and the Brembo brakes with ABS.
I had an '06 and have an '07 SG. I was kicking myself when 3 months later the '08 rolled out with the new tank and brakes.
