I'm 6'4 and I've ridden lots of tiny bikes (particularly upright ones) without issue. I look ridiculous obviously, but I've usually been comfortable, more or less. Instead of starting with "what can I change?" start with "what makes me uncomfortable on this bike?"
Do you have a numb bum?
Is the peg position tipping you forward and putting weight on your wrists?
Are the pegs too high and making your legs ache?
Are your knees hitting the bars when doing U-turns? ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

Hi thanks all for your feedback
In regards to the bandit 400, I was lucky enough to buy from a dealer who has been fixing it for me at no cost.
Short story is the bike kept cutting out 4 minutes into buying the bike. I wheeled the sucker back and it's had rectifier, alternator and carb floats replaced all paid for and fitted by the shop. Everything's balanced and cleaned in the meantime.
Albiet these bikes are not the most reliable, I have a 91 which doesn't have the variable valve control. Difference is that the ecu shouldn't self destruct. |
