Hey, I was going to purchase a GPX250 until I realized how small the bike is. I am 6'4" how would I cope on this bike?
Cheers. ;)

You wouldnt be the first tall person to ride a geepee but a road trail will be taller in the seat if you were that way inclined :?

or a zephyr 550 would be comfortable if you can find a good one
I was 6' when riding my GPX250 - it was ridable (and fun) but cramped
You'll be able to ride it - but itching for something bigger (physically) before very long.

I was 6'1" on a Ninja 250 and used to get cramped after around 200k's of riding. I didn't last v long with the bike for various reasons including the cramping I got. If your just doing short trips to learn, upgrade your licence and the occasional longer run (with some short breaks to stretch) its probably ok for now...
