Hi, I'm 1,70m too and I disagree, well not totally. I'm riding my 2008 660 Tenere not lowered, just 1cm lower seat, but raised a bit with WP fork mod. and going offroad with it and I'm on my North- Central-America trip at the moment.
I'm totally fine of just getting my tips of my feet on the ground when I'm sitting in the middle. The ball of one feet when I move my a*** to one side.
Shure I drop my bike here and there, but the Ten is build strong and I dropped it a lot in my past trips. Never had an issue. A dent in a pannier, scratch on my barkbusters. I can live with that.
But thats the catch. I can live with that. One other don't. If you don't feel confident on a higher bike, don't do it.
And the best advise is: Go light. Not only with the bike, but also your luggage. Don't carry a shitload of things you don't need! And heavy things low.
