I'm 6'2"-6'3" and 190. If you want to feel huge, get a GSX-R 600. They feel like mini bikes to me. Apart from growing-up riding YZs, I chose the FZ6 because it seemed to be the best fit for a taller rider at the time (05 model). I think we'll look tall riding anything, so get what you like.
I bought my 2005 used about four years ago. The rear was close to needing replacing, so I ended up putting a pirelli diablo strada on the rear about 18 months ago but left the front alone because it seemed fine. I don't ride much; however, I do notice the mixed tires seem to turn/angle...
