Motorcycle for tall newbie?
So I'm 6ft 3 and I weigh 165lbs. I'm looking to buy a street bike but not spent a ton of money, around 5k maybe 6. I don't need a racing bike or anything of the sort I just want something that has enough power to go 70-75 on the highway and be able to pass people when they are doing 50 in a 70 and such things. I basically want it to commute back and forth to work since its much more affordable than a car and my parents have a car I can use on days with bad weather.
I was looking at the Honda crf250l but am not sure if that would be good. I'm mostly concerned about comfort due to my height (back injury when I was a kid makes crotch rockets pretty much out the question)
Any input would be much appreciated.
In all fairness, You'd be able to ride any bike you want at that height as many of them are built for the average joe. I'm 5"4, and I can still sit well on my Kawasaki ER-500.
Your height is very good. All bikes will be easy to handle for you. Honda bikes are good but if you are concern for mileage and smooth pick up, speed. I ll suggest you Mahindra centuro. 80 kmpl mileage and superb pick up.
Honda CBR250R, Good bike, under 5G, MAX Speed of 100, but I wouldn't push it over 80, seat height is about 32 inches I think, give or take an inch. Honda crf250l is ok if your gonna be doing off roading, about same specs as cbr, if you won't do offroading, go with the cbr.
A HUSQVARNA TE250, KTM 450 EXC, SUZUKI DR -Z400S are some suitable motorcycles for you
- You say do I need to keep the Bell helmet the renter wore when he slipped, and crashed my motorcycle? My motorcycle is the 2008? Honda CBR600RR super sport motorcycle. The Cofounder of Riders- Share.Com compensated me the full amount of the motorcycle repairer's written damage estimate. I was also fully compensated for the helmet, which the renter wore when he crashed my motorcycle and my helmet.
- Will the honda xr650l be too tall for me? I'm really interesting in the xr650l dualsport but i'm 5'8" without any kind of boots with a 30-31" inseam. I know the seat height for this bike is 37. Would it be too tall to the point it would be unsafe for me to ride?
- What's a good beginner bike for a tall rider? I've always wanted to get a bike ever since my mom let me ride one when I was 12. I'm a 16 year old girl, 5'9", 135 pounds. I was thinking about a Triumph Bonneville (it's my dream to own one but now I'm thinking it's too small) or a Honda. Does anyone know what would be a good bike for me, even if I grow an inch or two more before I can afford one?
- Recommend sports bike for 5 foot 3 inch tall person? I will be 16 years of age soon, and currently race with a crf100 (although it is much too small at this point haha) and out and about I drive a crf230l with no trouble. I'm 5'3" and weigh 135lbs. I'm looking into getting a sports bike, and am considering a ninja 300, or a honda cb500f. The ninja 300 seems ideal, but I worry it is too small, and won't do much more than 130kmph. What would you recommend?
