Who cares what you look like on the bike?

If you're riding it, and it feels comfortable - who cares?

Enjoy it :cheer:

I'm 6'3" and sit very comfortable on the bike and enjoy it a lot. But like you I was a concerned about the way I look also " to big" asking neighbors and friends and they all said no. But I just asked my wife if I looked to big for the bike and she said " ya you kinda do". But if I listened to her I wouldn't be having this conversation because I wouldn't have a fz6. You will be satisfied with the bike, don't about what others think because the ass that makes the comments probably doesn't even have motorcycle in the first place.

Missed your question! I manage a surf shop in Cannon Beach.

what youre really trying to say is,"does this bike make my butt look big?!"

 

[wrlomas]

Hi there, I am 6'3" and 185 pounds and I fit the bike very well. I did up the suspension adjustment to #3. I only ride for sport and never more than 100 miles without a break. I do find myself tight against the tank after a while, I'm thinkin a corbin saddle would fix the slope in the seat to a more neutral position. I bought my 09 in may and have put 5000 miles and 1 dual compound rear tire on it. I LOVE the bike.

1. This is really cool.

2. I guess the X-Challenge isn't the bike for me...

:rof: Since I'm only in the 5'3" catagory, I find that I look like that on ALOT of the bikes!

[LERecords]

5'10" - 180lbs and the bike feels like a perfect fit..

 

[MHS]

I'm 6'2", 280lbs. Sometime I feel a little big on the bike, but I feel a little big all the time.

I love it - thing has a lot more than enough power to move me around.
