    You'd be ok on a ZXR250. Have you tried one of for size yet?

    Hi matey potatey,

    Totally sympathise. I am a almost 6' 130kg fat bastard but my trusty VL250 serves me well.

    I did have a go on my mates Ninga but could not get the midrift over the tank.

    Find what suits you and go with it

    Cheers dude

    Find a chick who’s just been dumped and comfort her by massaging her shoulders, and soon, she’ll be massaging your prostate.

    Pistons come in packs of four, if you only have 2 you got ripped off.

    I don't buy this whole exemption thing... unless you are a freak of nature (and it doesn't sound like it) there are plenty of bikes out there that fit the bill these days...

    I'm, 6'1", 100kg, not massive... but I've got stacks of space on a Hyo GT250... I know of folks as big as 6'6", 130kg that ride them just fine !!!

    I am not sure, is it available there but Royal Enfeild is much better option for with 300cc double silencer if not then you can go with honda XR250.

    I'd go for a Suzuki GN250 I'm 5'11 and that had more than enough leg room for me for two hours of riding without needing a stretch.
