Bit of a strange question?

[sstimmyy]

About 6' Been riding a Honda NSR 125 and currently my back hurts all the time... Moving onto a Hornet 600 which seems much more comfy

6'. KTM 990 Superduke, feet very nearly flat on floor. KTM 200exc, balls of feet on floor

6'3 and a YBR125. Way too small, my knees sit above the fuel tank
I've ridden a ninja 250 and the CBR 250 and thought they were alright

6' and i ride a xl700 transalp
can get nearly all my foot down

6"2 and I ride a yzf-r125, feel too tall for it really but it seems like the tallest sporty 125 out there. Probs would have been more suited to a varadero myself. None the less, i love the yammy

5'10 and Street Triple 'R' - the Street Triple is an ideal bike for folks under 6 foot - but I think someone 6'4 would look like Kracken does on his video intro! (on a kids plastic bike)

EDIT: If you like touring style bikes, then the likes of BMW GS, Suzuki V-Strom, Triumph Tiger etc would all be ideal as a few of them are just way too tall for me.

5ft11" and ride a Kawasaki Er-6f, done over 3hrs rides but need a break after that, easily flat foot the bike at stops. Overall a very comfy ride and saddle but that is a 2010 model. The 2012 has a more slim seat

6'1 - BMW R1100RS, feet flat on the floor.

Awesome thanks alot guys

6'3 on a VFR with dropped pegs and STILL missing some legroom. If short rides are your thing you can ride anything. Long rides will rule out sportbikes. Unless you hate your knees...then go for it.

couldnt agree more with this... im 6, 3" aswell, and also have a VFR, but can flatfloot it find, but you will find yourself wanting to get off more often than say an adventure bike

May as well add myself to this, 6'1" on a Bandit 600, loads of room and easy to flat foot at a standstill

 

[Chessecake94]

and just for good measure, Honda CG's I hit my knees on the handle bar, and my speed fight I would sometimes ride with my feet on the pillion pegs

 

[ToySoldier]

haha your one of these are you mister chessecake =] the rear peg boys xD nar i joke on some peds its safer so you can turn without knocking the handle bars on your legs its when you get them tiny little kids on big old runners thining there all cool lol

[MedicDan]

I'm 5'7" and ride a 600 Gixer. I have an inside leg if about 30". I used to ride a Bandit 1200 with a jack up kit fitted tho and could still touch the floor albeit on top toes :lol::lol:

If i wanted comfy i'd have bought a cruizer=)
i felt more bunched up on the zx6- the stance of the R1 fits me just fine
-I look at pictures of me on the zx6- and i looked huge compaired to the bike...
The r1 is big enough to where i dont look as awkward

Fair enough

A friend mentioned to me about the angle your knee is at having an impact - the R1 was 73 degrees whereas a VFR800 was 84, which made the R1 more comfortable for long journeys. Weird I know - but he usually knows what he's talking about.

I'm 6' 1", and I ride a Suzuki LC/VL Intruder 125cc. Works well since it has all the stretch room for the legs (being a cruiser) and I'd recommend it for the taller person; however, most people don't seem to like riding cruisers, so, maybe you'd prefer to find a taller sports bike, as this one is fairly low to the ground.
