    a good bike is a bike that you like size has nothing to do with a bike

        True to a point, however...
        Even at 6' even I feel cramped on some sport bikes. Cbr's and R-6's feel just to tight for me. If your comfortable being cramped a bit tight then it's your thing but, it's not for me.

          I am 6' 3" @ 205 Lbs. I think the Kat fits perfect. I can crouch down or sit straight up in comfort. Best ergonomics of all of the bikes I have sat on. Other than Busa which I can't afford for a while. Thats in price and all of the tickets...

            Get a ZX-14 or a Busa.

              A dual-sport dirtbike. Appreciate the fact that you can touch the ground on them!

                just try everything and see what feels most comfortable to you.

                        If its your first bike, don't go over 600cc for newer bikes or 750cc for older bikes. And take the MSF!

                          If you're looking for something comfortable like a Kat but without all the plastic you might want to look for a GSX1100G. BIG naked sports tourer with a Katana engine. Only imported 91-93 so they're kinda rare. They've got a pretty devoted following, though.

                              I agree with the above. If you get on it and you are comfortable, that is the most important thing in my opinion.
