No you need to learn to be a bit more flexible.

If you want a sports bike try a different set of rear sets.

Try an Africa Twin, I parked my CD200 next to one a couple of weeks ago and it made the CD look like a monkey bike.

I'm 6'3" and my Thundercats always fitted me comfortably. If you need a 125 get a Varadero or a Comet, instead of bitching.

Im 6'3 and ride a CBR400RR (nc29). Yes if im on a longer ride with the muppets from the north section my back cramps up. But it only does it on the really long rides. As in over 10 hours riding. (last north ride i was riding 12hours straight)

So no, your not too tall for a bike. Just suck it up and put up with a bad back.

6'4 15st
like said above . africa twin , varadero 1000 (125) if age is an issue . had both . now on a blackbird the last 4 yrs .

remember newer bikes are getting lighter and smaller by the week
try looking at older bikes

big trails bikes are not as frowned upon as the where a few years back and make for a great tool .

[fenton]

You think i wanted a bike that kills my back. No, but i wanted a sportsbike so i put up with it. Sod riding round on a tourer or advernture tourer like the GS.

6'5" on a Blade with raised rearsets. Look like a gonk but it fits just fine.

I'm 6 foot 3 and am still riding my YBR125 until my test in april. I feel like a plonker on it but it seems to be bigger (taller) than most of the other bigger engined bikes I park next to in London!!!

I'm 6ft 2 and I've ridden a 50cc scooter, was way to tall for it but I still rode it. I've also ridden a GN125 a SR125 was too big for both but still rode them.

I ride an NSR125 which I'm a little too big for but I can still ride it easy enough, I've also ridden an SV650 which I was probably too big for but again I still rode it easy enough.
