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?
Rule of thumb is that if you are seated on the bike you should be able to put both feetflat footed on the ground when you stop. If you are a very experienced rider you can fudge that a little bit. But you will have to be your own judge aterall is said. Good luck and be safe I've been riding since I was 14 and I'm 50 now.
Depends on your experience and to a degree, how fit you are. It takes alittle 'hanging off' the seat and moving around on it on a tall bike, i have a drz thats tall like that and i'm short also. It wouldnt be very enjoyable unless youre real used to it. And for the street, if you would be in traffic stopping and going alot, you'll definitely want something you can reach the ground easier on…
Unfortunately yes. I'm 5'11 and I can barely touch the ground on one of those. My buddy is 5"8 and has a 450x and he removed the seat cover and cut out some foam to shorten the distance. The xr650 is taller than that even.
- 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?
- Is maintenance for a Honda XR650L easy and simple? I ask because I want to buy one for a daily user. Is maintenance the same like a regular motorcycle? Example: More/less frequent oil changes. I wanted the L because c mon, That back hasn't changed mechanically speaking since 92 so you know that s solid engineering. I've owned and still ride an 88 route 66 for 3 years, done my regular oil change 3000miles, lube job, etc. So would it be the same? More work, less work. How s it looking?
- How tall is a Honda CRF150R and how fast could it go? I'm looking for a bike that will suit my height. I'm pretty short at 4,9:( Will a Honda CRF150R suit me? I also want to know its top speed.
