Well as a true 6'4", ginger arsed and 16 1/2 stone as well, I can say the CB1300 hides my bulk well is comfortable and ahs enough torque to not worry about my size when pulling away. The Speed Triple I have is OK but a lot more full on, the wife's Street Triple I make look like an average person on a CG125!!
A CG125 I made look like a clowns bike and had to almost pedal up hills to maintain speed!!!

Unless the doctor can't read his measure on his wall then I have to assume that him telling me I am 6ft 4" is correct.

What a strange thing to pull someone up on Ryan.

No Ryan I was pointing out that at my size I can and do ride bikes from 50cc to 1000cc.

The OP was I take it about being big and wondering what size bike he could ride,

Now fk off, there's a good lad or I bounce this can of Red Bull of your bonce.
