Average height of a FZ6 rider

[Wildblu]

I am 6'1" and ride an 08 FZ6 and not long ago a friend said the biked look small for my size. This made me a little self conscience when I ride the bike so out of curiousity what is the average height of an fz6 rider?

6'1" as well.
I don't feel too big on it, although, I am looking to upgrade to a bigger bike someday.

 

[sweber_7]

6'1" here too

 

[Wildblu]

im 6'3"

you people are short. how do your feet even touch the ground?!?!?!??!

 

[mcteague]

6'1" as well. The FZ6 feels fine. To me, motorcycles should be on the small side. I really don't understand why anyone would want to ride a huge, heavy thing. I want to "ride" my machine, not just sit on it.

I'm a shorty (5'7") and the bike feels just slightly big. I can touch my feet down on both sides pretty well but if the road is canted a little it can get dicey. I like the overall feel while riding though, it fits my upper body very well.

I notice most people look big compared to their motorcycle. You taller folks might, but it's nothing to worry about. My guess is I look small compared to mine.

Got my bike 2 weeks ago and had nothing but compliments and Im 6'1 so I guess I dont look to big for it... beleive me with my coworkers they would take any chance they could to crack jokes too.

5'8" No problems here. Fits me like a glove

5'5" had to shave seat so I could tippy toe both feet when stopped.

 

[sgtjp068]

I'm 6'0" and the bike feels great.

 

[tmilheiser]

Im 5'10" and no complaints

 

[Spideyrex]

5'9" and its all good.

 

[deeptekkie]

6'-3" and it's absolutely perfect for me. (Don't worry about what anyone thinks - ENJOY!)

5'10" and it fits exactly, but if I was any shorter I might struggle a bit. I think it's quite a tall bike generally, similar in physical dimensions to many 1000's.

I've got a mate who is about 6'2" with an SV650. His bike looks tiny compared to the FZ6.

it's just perfect :cheer::rockon:

6'2", bike feels just fine to me. However, I also look big on the bike. Saw myself in a reflection on an FJR and realized what people were talking about (looked perfectly natural on that one).

Here's something for juxtaposition: I let my dad (6'6") ride my buddy's Ninja 250R (the new one) and he even thought he looked like a guerrilla on a tricycle.
