  • What sportbikes cater to taller riders?

    Looking at other ss bikes and wanted to know which bikes cater to a person who is 6'0" and over? I myself am 6'3" so i am curious if there are any other tall riders that feel comfort on there ss bikes!

            zx14 or a busa. the r1 has a farely tall seat hight but it kells on the riding position. you might want to look deeper into the touring/sporttouring arena

              Looking at 2004 or newer

              Not going with the Busa! CBR,R1,GSXR is the order i am leaning toward. I really havent sat on any of them.

                  The R1 is an awesome bike, and would be a very good fit for you. A Gixxer would also be a good fit, but it would have to be an '05 or older. They lowered the '06 about 1 1/2".

                    Ninja's in general are pretty capable for taller riders because the reach to the bars is a bit longer than many.

                    Busa's, R1 & R6 work well for both taller and smaller riders, CBR is definately good for taller riders, BMZ K1200S is good for all sizes .

                      the busa and 14 aren't that tall...

                      The tallest bike I've sat on is a ZX12R. It's at LEAST an inch higher than my busa and at least a half inch taller than my 750 gix was.

                        I'm 6' 3" and I actually have no problems sitting on any of the 06 Gixxers even with the lowered seat.

                        therefore, the following equation is true.
                        girls = yammah
                        yammah = a bunch of liars

                          In addition to my Katana I have a GSXR K6. I am also 6'3" and it feels just fine. I found the R1 and RR's to be too short lengthwise.

                          I meet many taller guys who like the busa and the big kawi's

                              I'm 6'4'' about 280. My friend has a ninja and it seems kinda cramped to me. I feel more comfortable on a gsxr. Not sure about the year though.
