Tall Riders

Hi, I`m 6ft 4ins and 12 stone 8lbs, I ride a Triumph Daytona 955i, toned, blonde hair, good cook, handy round the house and no-one complains about the comfort of my bike, especially Mrs JetstreamAny takers?:slight_smile: (Edited by Julie before Chris gets himself into any trouble)

If you stand sideways is it impossible to see you. 6foot 4 and only 12stone 8 wow Also why are people against the VTEC version of the VFR?

i say hello sailor…:P:w00t:

I’m 5ft 3ins, less than 9 stone, dark hair, can’t cook etc… Sounds like a good pairing to me!!

This might suit you for ALL your requirements :wink:

P.M me if you wanna see it but you could NEVER be disappointed :cool:

the zeds even suit the shorter rider at 5ft9…:smiley:

I’m 6’5" and I’m riding a ZX6R A1P model which I think is fine. I ride mainly up the motorway and then through London. It’s a 70 mile round trip and don’t have any comfort issues.

Wow every one’s so tall i feel like a ickle hobbit. :hehe:Good luck with the bike choice.:slight_smile:

the V-tec vfr is a bit snatchy mate , chassis etc is a definate step foreward from the earlier bike but id rather have the earlier engine aswell

Careful Dawn or you’ll have half the male population of LB PM’ing you!! :wink: lol

The ‘can’t cook’ bit is fine as most bikers know how to dial for a takeaway! :smiley:

Oh and to answer Stan’s original question, I’m 6’ 2" and 11 stone, I have an older gixxer ('99 plate 750) and I find it’s just great, gets uncomfortable after about an hour and a half and that’s usually cos my butt has gone to sleep, although that’s probably more to do with not having much padding on it! :wink:

One thing I will add is unless you have lots of experience of riding different types of bikes then be prepared for the fact that you might sit on something you like and find it a bit weird. I found this with my gixxer as it was the 1st sports bike i’d ridden, once I’d had it a while it was better and now I absolutely love it, fits me perfectly! :smiley:

Best of luck.
