1.74m - no problem! My girlfriend is on that height and want's to take my GS to learning school - i say'd "no", until she's powerful enough to rise it up if it's fallen down  You certanly had the seat on higher position. Have a dealer to put the rider seat into lowest position and see what it then is.

but I 'd love to hear someone doing a RTW on a Strom...Anyone?

Unfortunately haven't heard yet... Surfing on Stromtrooper in the past i've seen people done 20 000km travels no prob. For sure it's RTW capable, as most of the bikes are.

Heard too many bad things about the tiger...although I love the looks and the engine performance, I am staying away from the bike, too many issues to my taste...and very few dealers around the globe to manage the issues(i.e. surging, EFI problems, etc...)

Most of the bad things we hear are "tar drops in honeypot" usually. Don't take them that seriously, there just aren't any ideal bikes. All have cons and pros, and i'd be more concerned what would best suited for me. Tigers have done RTWs and even on Harley Davitson's which most of motorcycle people (jap users) consider one of the most unreliable bikes on Earth!!! All doable. Just get the one you really like to drive and feel it is the right one FOR YOU and for YOUR RTW.
