Especially riding through the city, I notice the people and the bikes they ride. All generalisations here, but I have found certain makes, sizes and styles of bike "generally" have the same size person riding them. Hyosung have skinny kids, the same goes for 600 crotch rockets. Cruisers. The bigger the engine, the bigger the rider. Scooters generally have skinny execs - both male and female Birds........ I have mostly seen bigger guys on the bird. I fit into this category perfectly. I'm 6'2" and 110kg (246lb) How big are you?

173cm & 87kg. Gee, I wonder how much an accurate set of scales would cost. Surely they can't be correct

My doctor told me that I have to lose 25kg or I will die. I tend to lose faith in that doctor when he makes such a statement. I am barrell chested, I lift weights. Medications I have to take put weight on. I work out just to maintain my weight. I have just restarted Hapkido training. Hopefully I can get down to 95-100kg. Maybe that will shut the wife up  Oops, this was supposed to be a light hearted poll about my observations. Carry on.

I'm 6'4" and about 240lbs. Its not that I feel too big for other bikes, but the XX just fits well, the lowered footpegs help. Although when I rode my wife's lowered Ninja 250 I felt like a gorilla on a tricycle...

180 lbs (82 kg), 6'0". Problem is I'm all middle - 30" inseam - and relatively short armed, so it's a long reach down to the bars. Convertibars are going to be a big improvement, installing them next week while the bike's apart for paint. Also have the MRA Vario screen on order to compliment them. Can't wait for the snow to clear and try them out!

6', 219lbs. Down from a high of 230lbs. Drop a lb a week. I ride the bird more for the ability to go long distance. There are other bikes in the garage, but only one gets used by me. I might change my mind if I drop to 180lbs. |

6'1" 210 lbs (that's 186 cm, 95 kg to the rest of the known universe). Bird fits me like a glove. That's why I kept my FJ-1100 for 10 years too long, couldn't find another bike to fit... 'til I tried the BB.
