If you have to ask it likely is for you. But not because of your size.

I might say 250

Both bikes are pretty tall.
Only one way to find out, go sit on one!

  • Which bike would be a good first sport bike. Looking at CBR1000/600's and also the yamaha R1/R6? I don't know much about the differences, I know some people are all for Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, of Kawasaki. Seems that whatever bike someone has, they say its the best. I wish I could just ride all of them and see for myself. Tampa, FL Sam
  • Which bike should i buy either of honda or yamaha? I love Yamaha bikes but due to less pocket money my parents force me to buy Honda bikes because of its resale values and also due to its costs… How should i convince them.
  • What is a good beginner bike for a big guy? What would be a good touring, cruiser type starter bike for a big guy. I'm a 400 pound guy and am looking for a great starter/cruiser bike. I have looked at a honda shadow 650, or a vulcan 800, but am unsure of how powerful they actually are and if i can even handle it.
  • What bike should i get a 2004 honda cr125 or 07 yamaha yz125? I have a 2011 rmz250 and want another bike so i don't load up the 250 with hours. I have the chance to buy a mint 04 cr125 with a full pro circuit for 2200$. Or i can get the yz125 07 or 3000$. Its all modded out though. Front and rear RG3 suspension, motor built up by PR2, brand new tires, bars grips plastics and graphics, fresh rebuild, and a full FMF exhaust. The guy also has all stock parts that he switched out and receipts for all the work done. Both bikes have paperwork and are mint.
