Total Motorcycle Community Forums

have ridden since age 15 now 50 but had a few years away from it.
looking for another ride
my last one was a CB900F Honda
really like the sport bike style
like the Hayabusa,CBR1000RR,gsxr's ,
One problem is that I am slightly taller than the average guy and it is hard to find a bike to fit a 6'8 person
Sat on a kawasaki zzr1200 and it seemed okay but not alot of room
Any suggestions
could look at sport touring ones but really like the sport style better

Howdy and welcome to the forum. I own both a sport bike and a sport-touring bike and wouldn't give either up. Go to the dealer and sit on a couple.

Wow that's tall!

If I was that tall, I would be riding a BMW R1150GS Adventure.

thanks for the advice
I plan to sit on a couple
not a big BMW or harley davidson guy
but will keep an open mind

I knew a guy about 6'4"- 6'5" who owned a Hayabusa and he said it was quite comfortable for him.

Hi, In present, various models of [LINK REMOVED BY ADMIN] are available in bike market. As you said that you need a bike which is according to your height then try the above bikes:
