hi i am thinking of getting a yamaha fz6s and im 6'2". i have taken the fz1s for a test ride and the fuel tank felt really weird on my legs. would the fz6s be the same. i took the fj1300 for a test ride as well and the fairing was hitting my shins.

so would i fit on a yamaha fz1s

thank you

even bikes from the same manufacturer in the same family will fit differently, so it's possible you will fit fine, or it could be even worse.

the real focus here isn't your height, but your inseam measurement. you could have realy gangly long legs, in which case most sportbikes probably won't be as comfortable as a standard or cruiser would be, unless you make some modifications, and even then it's a crap shoot.
