i have been riding for 25 yrs. and recently sold my goldwing of 12 yrs. with over a 100,000 miles.
i am changing jobs and need a commute bike, 40 miles one way.i have found a new 2008 honda 919.
i am 6'4, 230lbs, is this bike gonna be too small ? i know its small compared to the goldwing.i have been out of the bike loop for a while, any suggestions would be helpful. thanks mike

I'd rock the heck out of one of those. And I'm 6'2" 300 lbs. I've ridden a 599 before and it's not too small, mainly because it's got actual handlebars instead of clipons, and a lower peg position. It shouldn't be too small for you by any means. Your best bet of course is to go sit on it, but if you're distance buying that's a bit hard to do, especially with a rare bike like the 919.
