Well I'd say if you wear a helmet, gloves, riding suit, boots, etc. how tall you are on the bike is the least of your fashion worries. :D





btw I'm 5'11" about 230lbs.

ROFL good point! The thing is I went from an 01 FZ1 that i loved and had to sell since it was the 1 that was paid off. So it may be some of my bitterness thats bothering me and not how I look on the FZ6. I know I should be happy that I still have a nice bike to ride. :spank:

Isn't there less than an inch of seat height difference between the two, it must be the position of the rear sets that make it feel so much different?

I am 6'1" and ride an 08 FZ6 and not long ago a friend said the biked look small for my size. This makes me a little self conscience when I ride the bike so out of curiousity what is the average height of an fz6 rider?
5'7"
Perfect size bike for me

I'm 6'2". I like the fit. I've never had anyone tell me I look to big for it. There have been a couple people that have taken mine out that have had a hard time touching their hole foot to the ground but I think it's a good fit for a lot of people. Except my wife, she's only 5'2". There's no way she can touch the ground. :)

6.0' 305 lbs - Look like Shaq on a 20" bike. Don't care. The FZ6 is an awesome all around bike. You can't beat the fizzer for Cost / Performance / Comfort.

I'm 6'1" 170 lbs and have heard that it looks too small for me, but it feels fine, I have an '09, it's my first bike. I checked out the Kawasaki Versys another taller bike but like the feel of the fz6 better. I like the option of being able to lean forward behind the windscreen if i want to or be upright for a cruise.

6"1 as well ...

A lot of same height guy's over here :thumbup:.

The only time I feel the bike is to "small" is wel going flat out in the straight ... no room for helmet tank position ... but that's just normal on a naked bike.
