Recommend a bike for a big 'un!

[TheFoxyDuke]

Was chatting to the girl who works opposite me today. She knows I'm into bikes and most things petrol related and was telling me that her fella is going to book some DAS lessons.

Now the problem is that he's 6'4" and doesn't want to look like a gimp on a bike. Benefit being he's pretty fit and toned so looks all in proportion.

Any ideas for any bikes that will be in proportion, as well as being suitable for somebody new and just out of DAS.

Much appreciated,

FoxyD

How about some kind of supermoto style bike - Husky SM610 is my current favourite choice for a road-biased trail-style bike with 17' wheels.

I'm 6'5" and found the ZX9 pretty good. Also, my SV1000 fits okay.

Buell XB12Rs? No chance!

supermoto's or triumph Daytona 650/CBR600f sport, or yamaha fzs600 (mine was good for 3 years), though better with a set of rethal ultra-lows- stopped me getting cramp.

Any decent commuter bike will do - er-6's, FZ6's & Gsx-F's are also quite big too.

My dad is 6'6", when he was young he used to ride offroader style bikes mainly I think, anyway the bikes i remember him having are a Bandit 1200 S, GSX1100R 1992 plate i think, and BMW R1100S BCR.

He fitted them all fine and is still riding the beemer
