Am I too tall for a Bonneville?

**Black Shatner** · 11th January 2016, 18:50

Hi folks! I test rode a 2014 Bonneville T100 and loved it. It was a comfortable ride and I didn't feel too tall on it. Then I saw this photo and worried that I might look like a bear on a tricycle (although I'm lankier than I appear here, the borrowed jacket was enormous!). Anyway, if anyone can tell me that I don't look too big for it in a convincing manner, I'll probably buy it. What are your thoughts, guys?

Cheers,
Andy

Oh, FYI, I'm 6'3" with a 32" inseam.

Your gloves don't match the rest of your outfit so I can't tell sorry. You will need to match them and your boots before we can comment on whether you will fit in at the cafe or not.

No, but the curtains match the carpet, if that helps?

You look fine. If you like it, buy it. It's simple, enjoy.

Thanks, flashg! I know it seems like kind of a dumb question but if I'm going to drop fifteen grand on something then it's good to feel sure about it!

spends 15 large on a sicle, based on the opinions of internet strangers about how tall he looks.

Just thought there might be taller riders here who know more than I do. But you're right, what a cunt, huh?

Many many years ago someone once told me if you really really like a bike, buy it and you'll look after it properly (your pride and joy) don't buy what others tell you or we'd all be riding the same bike. Remember it's your money, buy what YOU like.
Advice can help when it stops you buying a dud that's all.

All right, all right! I might not have made myself clear in the original post. Sigh. What I meant was, although I found it comfortable to ride in the test ride, once I saw myself on it and saw how tall I looked, I was worried that after six months of riding it, the bike might have start feeling smaller. Okay, forget it! That'll teach me to put my head above the parapet, I guess!
