    Tall bloke - which bike?

    A work mate of mine is wanting to get into bikes - only he is 6'8"! Anyone know if there are any bike that have bigger frames than others or are more comfortable for big units???

    Is he fit and flexible or a shambling Yeti?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Aprilia RSV is great for tall riders.....Triumph 675 is also really tall but a wee bit petit elsewhere....if that makes any sense

    I'm picking he doesn't have a full license yet, but then of course most KBers think they can ride and learning to ride is an admission of weakness.

    How about a KLX250S? They're quite tall and he'd have some flexible options in terms of riding trips.

    +1. Most dual purpose 250's (KLX, DRZ etc) have quite high seats, and an upright seating position, which would be more accommodating for long limbs.
