Firstly hi I'm new on here,

Secondly I'm seriously taken with the idea of buying one of these lovely little bikes.... just concerned that at 6'4'' (weighing 86kg) I won't fit...

My road bike is a 749s Ducati that I've riden to Spain and also the south of France (where I currently live) so i'm used to a little discomfort.

Is it a rediculous notion or are there tall poeple out and about riding these bikes?

I'd be after a track day bike with a budget of around £1500....

Thanks for any wisdom

Chris

am 110kg and 6.7" and don't have a problem apart from the bike looking a bit small under me

6'1" and 88kg here. I fit OK too, although I have cramped up a little once or twice on longer rides. I do have aftermarket rear-sets fitted too though. (Last time was 2/3 of the way through a 240 miler! I Expect most people won't ride one further than about 60 miles at a time!)

Fontyyy's a similar size (although somewhat lighter these days) and successfully races an MC28.

I fitted some Harris clip-on's which moved the bars forward about 35mm and adapted some Tyga rear sets which moved the pegs back and down aprox 30mm .

Doesn't sound much or turn the NSR into a Goldwing but does make quite a difference . Thought I might try making up a seat pad as well to raise the height an inch or so.

I'm 6'4'' and 100kg.

christ we could have an nsr world basketball team by the sound of it and no im not jealous because im a shortarse
