Get a 1500, there is no comparison except for the front fender... ;)

Well. both drifters are basically set up the same. If you look at the specs, the 1500 wheelbase is about 2 inches longer than the 800. Two inches can make a lot of difference.

Seat heights are the same - 29" with stock seats.

With engine guard pegs and the floorboards I think either would let you stretch. I'd likely go with the extra two inches, though.

I'm looking into buying a drifter.  Both bikes have great appeal, but the 800's hidden shock is cool.  I'm tall, old, and knobby.  I don't want to feel scrunched up on the bike.  Any comments would be appreciated!
