+1 There are many riders of your height who get on fine with the XTZ after they've got used to it and modified their mounting/dismounting and riding techniques.

That would probably be a good rule of thumb on a showroom fresh bike, but once the Ten's done a few miles the shock settles and eventually begins to sag. By 5K miles mine was getting very precarious on the side stand on anything other than dead flat ground, and that's without having lowered the suspension.
