GPX250 for a tall guy?

Post by anarchy »

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.

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

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...
