Comments :  This is my 19th bike in 23 years and the one I've been looking for! If you're under 6'2" forget it - this bike was made for tall people. I do a lot of touring in Europe and only wish I'd discovered the GS range earlier.

Comments :  Very fond of this bike. I found it very comfortable and was able to sit fully forward with my legs bent comfortably beneath me. This did mean I had to adjust the height of brake and gear lever but so worth it. One point to note is you sit up very straight up on this bike and if your tall the wind is a killer on the motorway with the standard screen.

Model :  CB500
Comments :  Cheap marvel, but as standard, sadly too small for me. Legs and bum hurt before the need to refuel (however, I improved comfort with a raised seat, fitted adjustable pegs and a full fairing - could do with raised handlebars though). In summary, unless you seriously modify the CB500, expect some considerable discomfort on longer (100miles+) journeys.

Comments :  Excellent bike. Seat is height adjustable and BMW offer even higher seat for the likes of TPC Club members. I've had mine three years, high seat, higher screen, 100 mph in comfort. Not as plush as an RT, but not as expensive either. Take a test ride and you'll be tempted to buy one.

Model :  SV 650 S ´07
Comments :  I own a SV 650 S from 2007. As I am 1.97 cm tall and have especiallly long legs too, I had trouble finding a motorcycle that fitted me. The SV (2003-?) however fits very well. The tankshape gives room for my knees, so that the legs can come real close to the motorcycle (which many other tanks prevent). The riding position i very compfertable, only problem I noticed is the but and hands starts troubling me after 3+ hours of riding, but thats probably the case for most non-cruising-motorcycles.

Model :  XT 660 X
Comments :  Tall 'Supermoto' style bike. Very upright riding position which makes for comfy riding. Cuts through traffic like nobody's business and has plenty of low down grunt, but a limited tank range and 100mph top speed make it a pain on motorways. If you only ever ride in town though, you could do much worse!

Comments :  I've just chopped this in for a HD NightRod and slightly regret it. This must be the only bike actually designed FOR tall people. Anyone under 6'5'' won't touch the ground. Best wet weather bike I've owned. Can get a bit hot and you need to concentrate - small front wheel comes up easily. Recommended.

Model :  Night Rod Special
Comments :  Don't be put off by the comical ride height - you won't look like a Romanian circus act. Mosst comfortable Harley I've owned. However lack of rear suspension can be jarring and overall handling dubious. For cruising the slightly forward position is great and legs at a comfortable angle slightly forward. Previous Harleys were bad for sciatica but not this one.

Comments :  Though I got rid of this a few years ago it is absolutely unbeatable for the 'larger' rider....all controls perfectly placed. Despite sciatica I could ride non stop all day on this. I've had loads of sports bikes but this is by miles the most comforatble. Quick enough too.

Model :  Bandit 600S
Comments :  Not bad for a naked 600. More space than on the Yamaha Diversion I later bought (after crashing the bandit) and good for long journeys. Still not ideal though, legs are a bit cramped but upright riding position is good for the back. Worth considering as there are a lot of bandits on the market and they make a very good used buy.

Comments :  I've owned this bike for the summer and while it's a reliable fun little bike it's definitely a bit on the small side for us taller riders. Legs are cramped but the fairly upright riding position is good for the back. I would have fitted wider bars if I was keeping the bike longer. Next bike will probably be a Yamaha TDM or Triumph Tiger.

Model :  Sportster XL883R (2005)
Comments :  A fairly small bike but quite comfortable. Because there not a fairing on it there no restrictions for your legs. Every 150 miles or so i got a bit of cramp in my legs but it usually needed more petrol by then so it worked quite well. My back started to ache after 500 miles or so i cant grumble to much at that. For short distances it a lovely bike. For long distances is a lovely bike. I've had it 15 months and have done over 23000 miles on it in mostly comfort.

Manufacturer :  BMW
Model :  R1100S
Comments :  Punchy boxer engine, telelever suspension works very well for heavier riders (no chronic fork dive). This bike breaks the usual BMW sterotype and has often surprised riding friends on more usual high performance Japanese models. Fantastic road bike.

Comments :  Quite a relaxed "sporty" bike. Very good for my size, could probably even be taller in the back, but longer legs would touch the fairing. I can ride this one all day!

Comments :  Based on a day in London : sporty position gave pressure on the wrists at low speeds. Legs fitted in nicely, but tighter than my TDM - cramping is likely. Screen *nearly* deflected windblast over my head when *fully* raised.

Comments :  Perfect-sized bike for me, spacious & maneuvourable. Easy on the legs, wrists and neck, but the relaxed upright position means I often curve my back. The standard screen is low - a Givi 15cm is better (100mph OK), but not perfect.

Comments :  Only barely comfortable enough (numb bum and cramped knees after 120 miles or so - which coincides with fuel stops) but soooo fast for a 600. Watch out for gatsos! I have a 6'1 girfriend who went pillion - only once, though!

Comments :  Not too bad comfort wise, though *every* bike I've had gives me a sore bum after 100 miles or so (all naked bikes, so it could just be windblast).

Comments :  Called, DR750BIG, as they are BIG. Very tall trial bikes, come in 750 and 800 flavours. They can be picked up quite cheap secondhand, and are good winter bikes, as they are prime candiates for abusing. Keep the chrome bikes for the summer!!!

Comments :  The archetypel tall persons motorcycle. Don't even think about getting on if you're below 6ft. Good touring bike, but seat is rather narrow and hard. Performance is adequate, but its so big, motorists move right out of your way!

Comments :  Whats good on this bike is the engine and the brakes. The finish is ok as long as you clean it. The comfort is ok. The pegs could be an inch forward and the reach is just too far - I have to lean forward more than I'd like.

Comments :  2000 model. Yamaha TDM is a road-oriented "monster trailie". Seat relatively low but footpegs low emough for decent leg room. Shuffle up to the tank for accurate cornering, then it handles well. Wide bars and narrow engine are ideal in town.
