It does seem that a reason often given for getting rid of (or not buying) a Nomad is that it was too big of a bike for the owner. I was a surprised how much more difficult it was for me to maneuver the Nomad around the garage than was for my 800 Classic, although I felt perfectly comfortable riding it and handling it at low speeds. Then I figured out (duh) that by sitting on the Nomad to maneuver it in the garage worked great. I had always just walked the 800 from the side and was trying to do that with Nomad, was sort of an epiphany.
