I've been lurking for a while until i realized that I had already registered, I'm a full time uni student looking to get into motorcycles. Currently trying to get down to an ideal weight so I'll be able to find a "comfortable" sportbike experience(6'2" 265 right now). I'm taking the MSF in august a few minutes from my house, and hope to purchase a bike by mid september to december at the latest.
I'd like to give a thank you to all the posters in here from all the information i've gathered already, some really good stuff on these forums

What bikes have you sat on so far? Most bikes are going to support your weight just fine, but your inseam might be a challenge if your height is in your legs. My son is also 6'2" and has a 34" inseam...he looks funny on most bikes. He's sat on my SV and looks a little cramped; not enough to be a riding deterrent but it probably wouldn't be fun after a couple of hours.
He took the MSF on a little GZ250 and loved it, though. It was like watching an adult try to ride a Big Wheel, but he had fun anyway.
If you're waiting until winter to buy, you might get a better deal than buying now. Unless you really are in San Fran, then maybe not so much...
