Hey guys, I am inches away from buying my first 2008 fz6 and need your help for the final push! I have sat on it a couple times but have not seen myself in the saddle. I am 6'3 and 200 lbs and worried that I am going to make the bike look small. If anyone who is as tall or taller could give me some advice, or even post a pic/video of them on the bike it would help me out so much! Thank you all in advance. Have had a great time getting to know you on the forum.
All that is adjustable to a certain extent;Hey guys, I am inches away from buying my first 2008 fz6 and need your help for the final push!

I'm 6'1" and 170 Lbs. What is more important is I have a 34" inseam.
I am nearly 6'5" and my inseam is 34"! My torso is crazy long. I don't like the way I look on the FZ6, but it was such a good deal and the bike had such great reviews that I couldn't pass it up. It also helps that out of all the 600cc bikes I sat on the FZ6 felt the best. Over the course of seven years I probably sat on close to 100 different bikes. January of 2013 I sat on a 2012 FZ8 and I knew what bike I was going to buy.
And now I am here :rockon:
So you have an FZ8 or a FZ6? The FZ8 fits better? I'm 6'4 and also not a fan of how I sit on the 6. The FZ1 bars helped a little but the foot pegs and controls are just a bit further forward than I'd like.
