haha. Yea i know.
First of all, I do not have a weird "tall guy" fetish.

Just wanna see how people look on their bikes.. Im about 6' 3" myself.. Thinking of getting a 525 exc, 610 sm or a SXV. Anyone know which bike would be the best for me?

Thanks

I wonder if he got any problems with the rear brake :hmmm:

I'll have to post a picture next week, but I can say this. I'm 6'2" and I get a lot of people asking me if I'm riding a mini when they see pictures. The only bike that I've ridden that doesn't get that comment is a Goldwing!

Get the bike you feel the best about, then make it fit you, not the other way around.

 

[Lasseleeten]

Nice!
I guess they say something else when you pass them
Yeah, I have to agree but right now I just dont know which one of those I want..

 

[RockinWallyz]

if you're going to do more than street riding, you'll need to get bar risers and taller seat foam to be comfortable on any of those bikes...

here's a few funny pictures of me at 6'5", that show the problem of riding bikes in stock form

... at the time, i didn't have the money to set up the exc properly for my height. the honda and kawi are loaners so i didn't bother :thumbup:

[Lasseleeten]

That doesnt look too bad imo.. I just dont understand why they make these bikes for midgets?

I'm not as much of a gigantor as some of yoos... but I still get the monkey/football comments...

6'1" 200lbs.

Well remember that is a 600 dirtbike, so it is on the larger(est?) end of the thumper sumo spectrum. I have riddent a 590 around a parking lot and it felt pretty comfortable too. The XR is perfect for my size and riding, but when I ride agressively and tuck up front, the bike gets very cramped for me. I would be nice if I could move the pegs down and back an inch.

That's what Fastway pegs do in the "low-boy" position. Lower and further back. Cant remember if its half an inch or a full inch.

Interesting, what's the difference between the F3, F4, F5, etc.. .lineup. Their website is useless.
