I'm dumping the car for a bike Very Happy

But since I'm 6'2" I'm worried about the physical size of a 125 (been browsing the net but havent been looking 'in the fleshyet).

What do you guy's reckon? Cos I really like the look of this bike.

I'm just under 6ft and dont have any prolems on my NSR125F (don't know if the riding position is different though). The NSR has a bit more relaxed position than most of the other sports 125s.

Well I'm 6'5" and Im ok on an NSR125....

make it look like a 50 though.. Embarassed

In fact I have more trouble riding my mates VFR400 cos of the high pegs/ low seat combo...and don't even ask about an RS125, I cant get my feet on the pegs at all!

6'2" = No probs

Hahahaha! I'm 5'1" (almost) hahahah I make these bikes looks BIG!!! Laughing

Seriously though, you shouldn't have any problems with an NSR, they're pretty comfy, there's a guy at work who rides a CG (yeugh!) and he's got to be, what...um about 7' (6'6" I believe) and he has no problems.

I'm another one at 6'2" and I have no real problems on the NSR. In fact I have just bought a VFR400 NC30 (even though everyone has warned me about the tight fit).
I may look a bit big but it feels fine.

Thanx guy's. Very encouraging! I'm gonna see If I can get a test ride anywhere.

Didn't realise that different NSR's had differences that affected rider position! I'd better get learning more about them Smile
