Need a bigger bike mine looks a bit small for me

Looks fine to me. Most of the modern sports bikes are tiny (compared to bikes of 10 to 20 years ago) so a err... larger gentleman on a large bike does not look out of proportion compared to an average person on a sports bike.

[rsv gone!]

This more your size?

[SplatSpeed]

i've got a spare small block chevy

I sat on an R6 and it was like some weird 2 wheeled donkey kong racer.

The round headlight RSV Mille is a very comfy spacious bike for thelarger gent I found.

Dave!

I like your stealth jacket to blend in with the cows in the field.

Red makes a bike look bigger.

You could call it an 'unflattering' camera angle I s'pose

why not get some new (plain black) gear?

the monochrome 'camouflage' (oh the irony!) get-up and orange-flash helmet make you look huge........






and a bit ridiculous

Ironically, the only (sports)bike I've ever felt totally comfortable on was a 125 Mito - and I'm 6'5".

All the litre bikes and current 600s are too small. I'm hoping they get round to dropping a 450cc single in the mito frame.

Have you tried adventure type bikes? Generally a lot more comfortable for the taller rider, and while they're not as quick as the sports bikes on a smooth A-road you can have fun on them at legal speeds (which makes them good for people with a few points already), and scare the life out of your sportsbike riding mates when they try and keep up with you on a really bumpy backroad.

How big are you? You certainly make the bike look pretty small. No offense meant or anything.

[Talksteer]

I decided this bike wasn't really cutting it for a guy of my size



In fairness I look a bit too big for my SV650S especially in my textiles.

You look fine. If you really want to make a bike look small, be this fella.

Giant trailie time I think... GS Adventure springs to mind. I'm 6'4" and had the same problem. Anything that starts with the word Ducati is pure porn as far as I'm concerned - but I could hear laughter breaking out all round the showroom. Plus I needed medical assistance to get all my limbs working again after I'd been sat on a Paul Smart replica for a few minutes...
