possible 250cc expemtion?

[Mr Skid]

Just how tall? I'm 6' 6" and have no problems on my CBR250R, and have taken on long journeys with no more than a streach each time I tank. Just sit at the back of the seat and you'll be fine.

..Or sit on the pillion seat if you want to stretch your legs. I'm 5'9" and can reach still reach the cbr's clipons without any issues from the pillion seat.

Get yourself a ZZR250/VTR250/GT250/Hornet250/ETZ250

Theres a list as long as your arm that arent small - ie bigger and a bit more comfy than the FZR/ZXR250. FWIW my friend who is 6'4" rides a FZR250, so I dont see why you cant.....

I'm 185cm (6'1"), and a 250 Bandit is a very comfortable fit. Naked bike, no pesky fairing!

I had a ZXR250 and it was acceptable. Look at a more relaxed bike like the Zeal for a bit more space.

[R6_kid:Me]

geeez you silly russian! you're not much bigger than me if at all... my zxr is sweet but i know what you mean with the fairings - you just have to sit further back on the seat.

btw mine will be up for sale in the near future for around $3500-4000

I was worried about my Fxr being too small, but I have no troubles, its easy to sit back and theres no fairings in the way.

Wouldn't seats be bum height (give or take)? IE, a 750 isn't 3 times higher than a 250, they are all adult height. I had a mate who was 6'5" at least and he owned and rode Vespa's, GN's NC's RC's RGV's VFR's and more. Get your bend on. They won't give you permission to ride a bigger bike, they'll mark your licence with "admitted he can't ride safely" and tell you to get a car.

The suzuki across bikes are quite big for 250s. Definately worth a try. 4cyl 4stroke too.

I struggled getting onto a ZXR could hardly lift my legs onto the pegs. I've got a ZZR, not bad except that most who have seen me on it reckon I look like I'm normal sized and riding a scooter.

Other problem is suspension, next time it goes in (probably start sending to Motohaus as well) I must get it looked at, just sitting on it makes the bike sag... even showed JSG and Zapf and they didn't look too impressed.

So don't forget about suspension as well.
