Best motorcycle for tall riders

“Wow, I always forget your height!”

I can’t help but laugh when I see my friends again after a long time. that the first thing they say. I’ve heard that the Dutchman is one of the tallest people in the world, and I think that gene runs deep. I think he’s 6ft and everyone else in my immediate family is at least he’s 5ft 8in. My “little brother” is 6ft 4.

If you ride a motorcycle, my height, specifically the 32-inch inseam, really helps me reach the ground when stopping. Being able to have both feet on the ground for more stability definitely boosts my confidence. sports tourer, ADVWhen dual sport They are often very suitable for riders with longer inseam due to the higher seat height and more legroom.

when we had BMW F900XR At the office, one of my colleagues asked me to sit on it. “Oh, you’re lucky you’re tall.” With that response, it seems I’ve passed a seat-height test of sorts. The owner, who stands at 6’6, reported that the seat height was fine for him, but as a personal preference, he prefers an extra tall seat (seat height up to 32.9 inches). There is also a low seat option that lowers the seat height to 31.3 inches, or a low suspension option ($200) that uses the low seat to lower the seat height to 30.5 inches. The riding position is upright, and there is plenty of room even with a long torso.

The Ducati Multistrada V4 All variants offer adjustable seat heights between 33.1 and 33.9 inches. The Pikes Peak version, for example, also has an adjustable seat height, but with different handlebar and peg locations for a more aggressive ride. motorcyclistsenior editor Adam Waheed writes: His Pikes Peak review He says he prefers the lower pegs and wider bars of the standard Multistrada V4 S because the more aggressive ergonomics of the Pikes Peak machine are closer to the overkill of the standard Multi’s already sporty Ergos. The riding position of the Pikes Peak version was comfortable for our test rider in the 5-foot-7 range, while the more relaxed dimensions of the standard model could offer a wider rider his triangle for those with longer limbs.

As many of you may know, pan america teeth Harley-Davidsonforay into the adventure segment. One of his tech features available on the Pan America Special is Adaptive Ride Height. Harley says the suspension system “automatically transitions between a low stop position and optimum ride height when the motorcycle is in motion.” This handy feature is useful for riders of all sizes, not just those with short inseams. It’s easy to reach and comfortable. The minimum empty seat height (with ARH) is 32.7 inches, and the maximum is 33.7 inches. Accessory low and high seats and handlebar risers are also available.

With a seat height of 34.8 inches (he’s 33.2 inches with the optional lowdown kit), the DR650S has great stretch to the ground. Riders with a 30.5-inch inseam found the standard seat height to be a bit taller, but lowering it lowered it to a more manageable level. It is comfortable if the inseam is longer than that.

my husband and i Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE. For me, the riding position is relaxed and spacious. There is plenty of legroom thanks to the narrow tank and seat. Reaching the bar is comfortable whether standing or sitting. His claimed seat height of 33.1 inches doesn’t matter. The ball of the foot touches the ground when the foot is stationary. My husband, who is 5ft 10.5in and has her 31in inseam, is more on the toes, but on the dirt she has found this reach comfortable since she started biking.

The yamaha tenere 700 A tall and agile ADV trekker. Its 34.4-inch seat height might be a little taller, but it’s welcomed by taller riders and those looking to have some fun in the dirt. A rider with his 30″ to 32″ inseam can manage a taller seat height, but if he needs more height, he adds 1.6″ to the stock. I have. Its slim design is dirt bike-like and easy to stand up. Make sure you have enough legroom even when sitting down.
