Hi folks, a quick question for any of the taller riders out there
After a 30 year gap I'm back on a bike to get my full license, it a 2010 yamaha xj6n and I can't fault it but always loved the older fireblade especially the model with drilled nose fairing
My concern is that I'm 6ft2 with a 34in leg and while I don't intend to travel for hours at a time I worry if I'll be uncomfortable on it,
Any experience or opinions appreciated |

one thing to bear in mind is that those early fireplaces had 16 inch front wheels and unusually pointy front tyres. Those are very hard to get at all these days and impossible in modern sticky rubber. Currently available 16 inch profiles tend to make these bikes stand up if braking while banked over.
Pretty as the very early ones are I would get a 17" model as it's a better bike for probably less money.
happy hunting ...as they say on here |
