I love these videos, and as a 188cm guy looking for a new bike they are very helpful! However, i am a little confused as to what your criteria are for when a bike makes you feel cramped. The Kawasaki look far more comfortable than the fireblade, what are you basing that observation on, any specifics? Thanks!
I’m 6ft8, started on Yamaha R6 ( doable but uncomfortable ), then ridden Ducati Diavel 1260S ( works well for this height) and now I have moved to Bmw Gs 1250. Its neraly perfect now, just need to do a couple of changes to get more open knees
@Vstar5 I ended up going with the Honda NC750X. It has plenty of room and it being a taller bike it makes it feel like you’re a (more) normal sized person. Comfortable,though (as with most bikes in this price range) it could use a seat replacement if you’ll be riding more than 1- 1.5 hours at a time
Great video! Here are some bikes I found that works well for tall riders (I'm 6'3). Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE Yamaha XSR900 Yamaha MT-10 (with comfort seat)
@@BikesILike You're welcome mate. I have spent countless hours searching for bikes that not only fits us taller riders but also looks good. I was to fed up with "just get a big adventure bike"since they don't appeal to me at all. The KTM 1290 SuperDuke has also great ergonomics for tall riders.
I am 6'0" an about an inch to short for my Buell Ulysses but still ride it. Who gets the old wing without out the big cushy chair on the back? I agree on the M109 looking good. I find my wifes 883 sportster cramped.
No this definitely doesn't apply to you this guy is about average height I think maybe his ego is telling him he's tall.. when you put your likeness on all the bikes and you practically fit that means your average...
@BIL Paul, mate, you're the MAN of your word. Thanks for doing the M109R in this version. Bookmarking both of these videos for future reference. You may get few views and subs soon. Keep up the Excellent work!
On the other note, we may have a bit of leverage with the handle bar adjustment to make a mobike slightly roomier but what you've projected is accurate as per the standard setting. Unlike cars the seats aren't adjustable on all bikes (not to that extent even on the adjustable ones anyway).
On 650 Interceptor, you can sit on eny part of seat. It is great. I had bike lit this and I was sitting almost in back 😀 Great bike for peoples with really long legs.
personally at 6’3” with a 36” inseam it’s typically Adv bikes (which do nothing for me style wise unfortunately) and dual sports or dirt bikes that fit well. Most comfy street bike I had was the MT-09 with the taller comfort seat.
@@Michel-Graillier-fanclub we don’t get that bike here in the states. we had the wr250r but that was discontinued. there may be a 300 at some point to compete with the similar models sold by honda (crf300l) and kawasaki klx300) but nothing for now. I have a wr250f that I love but it’s not street legal here in California (in other states you can make road legal but here in Cali it doesn’t meet emissions standards for the road). Dual sports are dwindling here to a degree.
@@smeggysmeg2837 Yes, I ve been living in Southeast Asia for 12 years, I see a gradual demise of both Rally and Dual Sports here as well in favor of scooters and sports bikes.
Hi Paul. Thanks for the material you've been working and delivering for all of us thru your channel . You know a lot about motorbikes but I dare to share my feedback with you. After several miles and experiences, when considering long haul travels with my wife, I'd suggest try the bmw 1200/1250 gs. It's somehow obvioulsy but the machine is such well rounded, super confortable for two. Enjoy and safe ride. Cheers from Brazil.
Thanks for the advice and feedback Luiz I really appreciate it. Totally agree on the BMW for comfort, I owned a R 1200 RT in 2010 and my wife and I did a lot of touring in comfort on that bike. There are a couple of things beginning to shape my next bike decision however. As we age I find my wife coming for rides less and less and she's happy for me to buy something that's not so passenger oriented now. So passenger comfort is no longer a high priority. I'm also seeking something affordable, smaller and lighter in weight and excellent on fuel consumption. The BMW F 900 XR is probably more in view right now although the Honda NC750X has the edge on economy. Stay safe over there and Olá to Brazil!
im 6'10 and super comfortable on a little yamaha r3. as long as i sit on the back seat! lol. I physically cant put my feet on the pedals if im sitting at the front
If you're new to the channel Pablo, here's a video list of all the bikes I've covered so far. tinyurl.com/DIF-Videos These videos include a 6'4" rider. The link to this list can be found in the description of each video. 👍
Great video. I'm 6'3" and this is the sort of thing that's super important to know!! You didn't include BMWs or Moto Guzzis with their engines that stick out. It's seriously a concern. My aching shins!
True. I did counteract that to a certain degree when I photographed myself from the side view. I purposefully spaced my feet apart to the width of the average motorcycle foot pegs and I also held my arms apart to simulate holding the width of standard handlebars. I'm not expecting this exercise to be a 100% accurate representation of what it's like to accurately sit on each of these motorcycles, but I'm satisfied it's giving me a fairly good indication.
I've added 6'4" to my latest 'Do I Fit" series including inseam measurements. Here's the playlist for that series. ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE Check the inseam of the 6'4 rider, if it's similar to your inseam measurement you'll get a good idea of leg comfort from these videos. If your inseam is a lot longer let me know what it is and I'll look at adding a 6'7 rider sometime in the future 👍
Hi, I’m 6’2” with a 33 inside leg. I can vouch after sitting on a Honda Rebel 500 in my local showroom, that it is a surprisingly comfortable bike. I’m waiting for the new baby 800 Africa twin to come out. Also I would like to see how you would fit on a Triumph T100/T120 please. Great videos 😄👍
Thanks Tony and thanks for confirming my Rebel 500 findings. Keeping an eye on the baby Africa Twin too although I've also heard it could be blessed with the Transalp title. T100 and T120 have been added to the list!
For some reason they all look a bit small to me. It must be a point of perspective view. I own a Kawasaki Vulcan 1600, it looks pretty big to me, but when l saw a friend sitting on it, it didn't look that big to me. Very interesting.
A suggestion for a 6ft7 ? any engine above 600cc, i was thinking about the gs1250r, is it alright or overkill ? . I'm talking about height posture and comfort
Paul have you traveled on large displacement scooters? I am 6'3 with looong legs/torso ratio and Im surprised how much leg room these give me compared to regular motos.BMWs C650GT have a great riding position.
6'6" here. Just totaled my ZX-14R yesterday. Bike fit like a dream. im 6'8" with my riding shoes mind you so just another option for us vikings. i want a more nimble bike this time because if i could have swerved a little faster i wouldnt have crashed.
@@BikesILike by the grace of god given it was on the highway and the zx14r isn't exactly a slow bike. Got break checked. Gunna sue. I did a few stop drop and roles before sliding on my hard shell backpack for 30 feet, somehow not hitting anything
Yeah the superbikes fit pretty good if you are tall. I had a 97 YZF1000 that was a good fit even with 36" inseam. Next year they came out with the R1 that was a smaller frame to replace it.
I need help. I am 6ft5 308lbs ( 196cm 140kg ). I like more classical look but I would like to be able to do mix 80/20 (road/offroad). Also I would love if I could somehow get sidecar for my 110lbs (50kg) dog. Plus some basic trip things or camping gear. Thank you in advance for recommendation. Also can you do size test for URAL motorcycle ?
I have made a couple of videos on the Ural, you'll find them here www.youtube.com/@BikesILike/search?query=ural but I don't believe I've made a specific Do I Fit video on that specific bike? I will make that video and I will soon be including a 6'7" rider. ;)
I have a theory that at any point where you’re knee is above the line of the hips tends to look uncomfortable. I’m 6’5 and my Suzuki m109 is close to perfect and so is my KTM super adventure, infact any large adventure bike will be ants pants for taller riders
My question is - *what is this program?* It's not photoshop, not gimp, obviously not paint, and it doesn't look like any CAD software I'm familiar with (those being AutoCAD and Inventor) - is it SketchUp? Looks a bit too 2D oriented to be sketchup I think. So... what is this program? EDIT: Nevermind, I just found it's blender under Part 1 of this.
@BikesILike Very nice video! I’m just the same size and want to ask, if you can do another video with some 125ccm motorcycles? Like a Honda shadow, Yamaha XVS, Suzuki Intruder, Magpower Legenders, Magpower Tennessee, Leonart Pilder, Leonart Daytona or some other chopper/cruiser bikes
Thank you! I have a new series covering riders from 5'3 to 6'4 you can watch those here ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE I'm currently working my way through all the road going bikes currently available from all the manufacturers. Once I have that pretty much under control I will start branching out to other bikes. I'll add your recommendations to that list 👍
@@BikesILike thanks a lot! I’ve been looking through your videos and they all are good, but you only cover big motorcycles. I only can ride 125cc and searching for a chopper/ cruiser with my 1.9metre 😅. Hopefully you can find some of the bikes I write before and how it looks sitting on them as a tall guy.
@@50fiddy05 Ok thanks for filling me in on your situation. I'll start adding in smaller capacity bikes in the next batch of bikes. Just be aware there are currently 18 bikes ahead of them in the queue so it might be a couple of weeks before you start seeing them 👍
My friend and I are trying to get into riding and are planning to buy motorcycles in the spring. He’s 5’2 and I’m 6’5 (yes we do look ridiculous when we hang out together) he doesn’t understand why I’m already looking for a bike that’ll fit me.
That's great to hear Conor! If you head over to my channel home page youtube.com/@bikesilike or click the BIL icon you'll find a playlist of all the bikes I've covered in my Do I Fit series. There's around 250 bikes covered so far. At the top of my channel page you'll find tabs, Home, Videos, Shorts etc scroll across those tabs to the right and at the end you'll find a little magnifying glass. Use that to search my channel and find every video I've ever made on a particular bike. If you have any questions just ask! I'm happy to help and would love to see you guys get into riding. 👍
The question is not if you will fit on these bike. The true question is HOW LONG will you fit on them. Anyway this was kina funny and well done. I'll say you look best on the Tiger 900. Thx!
cool video, I'm also 6'1''. I saw you also did a video for the 2021 Ducati Monster. Lovely bike, but 6'1'' looks a bit too big. Just looks like there are other bikes that fit that height so much better. But again, it was the same with my mx-5 and still bought it in the end.
@@VladInc Thank you! I have covered the Scrambler Desert Sled and Icon, you'll find them listed here... DIF VIDEOS Listed Alphabetically: tinyurl.com/DO-I-FIT-Videos Might give you an indication of size? I will add the Nightshift to the list of future videos. 👍
@@BikesILike yes, i've had at look. i did a 'ducati' search on your videos, so easy to find. thank you, I really like the fit on the desert sled. would be cool if you want to do the nightshift in the future, maybe also multistrada 950. and there is one more idea, if you want to consider: it would be cool if you added a third pose, with the feet down to the ground and the hands on the bars, since this is how you typically wait at the lights. good job
Already Done!! Check out the 'Do I Fit' playlist featuring a 6'4" rider. ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE I'll upload a SCR900 video later on today. 👍
Keep an eye on my new DO I FIT series. I'll definitely be covering these bikes in future videos, there are currently 22 bikes uploaded and more coming everyday. 👍 DO I FIT series playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE
These videos are incredibly useful. Thank you for making them. If you chose to turn this into an app where the dimensions of the rider can be adjusted, I, for one, would definitely buy it. In the previous installment you mentioned the Versys 1000. I'm 6', but with a, Hmm let's say "rounder" shape. I road tested a first generation Versys 1000 and it was awful, just awful.
Thanks CaptHollister! I'll keep the app idea in the back of my mind. I don't think a lot's changed with the Versys 1000. I have read the latest model has a comfortable seat but it still looks at steep angle to me. If I get a chance I'll throw a leg over one and check it for comfort and see how it compares to my 2nd gen Versys 1000. 👍
Rather creative. I'm 4 in taller, but still a good indication. Don't know how much you would compress the different seats with your weight in real life, though. But thx. for the vid.
The newer videos in this series now feature a 6'4 rider. Keep an eye on these videos as I upload a new bike every day. DO I FIT series playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE
My new 'DO I FIT' series videos feature a 6'4" rider with a 37" inside leg. You'll find all those videos right here. 👍 COMPLETE VIDEO LIST!! See ALL the bikes covered so far listed in alphabetical order. tinyurl.com/DO-I-FIT-Videos
Cool but unfortunately this doesn't show a real picture. For example if you sit in real life on Honda Rebel and on Z900RS you'll fill the opposite of what you saw here, the Rebel is tiny and Z900RS is quite big and roomy.
I think I'll delete these two original videos as my process has evolved a lot since they were made. Keep an eye on my 'Do I Fit' playlist for more up to date renderings. There are currently 60 bikes there and the list grows daily! ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE
I feature a 6'4" rider in my newer 'Do I Fit' videos which will be closer to your height. You can see the complete list of those videos here tinyurl.com/DO-I-FIT-Videos
I cant believe you havent added the Hayabusa to the list. Just for the sake of it😅 Btw can you make size comparisons for very tall and very short people too?
6’1” ! Sorry mate, but that’s about one notch above ‘short arse’ .and I’m only 6’4” I ride a GS800 and a WR250. I’ve done a few mods on both of them to make ‘em a bit more roomy, raised seats, and bars, lowered pegs. Good results, for me. I read some comments here from 7 footers ! Wow ! Fuck your luck fellahs…
This is awesome haaha awesome graphics, info and choice of bikes. Subbed! Awesome content. Could you add the honda cb1000r and 650r and the aprilia rs 660 on your next video? You sure have to make a serie of "do i fit" hahah
Thank you so much and will do! I'll add them to the list. There's a few new bikes that have been released, I'll start compiling them for a new video and I'll include 5'9" Ted as well 😉
@@BikesILike much appreciated mr. Awesome work 💪 and the 6'1 hahah you're exactly my size. Its refreshing to actually know how i would look on one of those. Greetings from portugal 👏
thank the good lord for your height brother. When we get off that bike, all the ladies love us. Keep in mind, there are modifications you can make on bikes as well for your height.
I didn't watch the whole video but let me sum up "do you fit?" If you're over 5'9" you're not going to "fit" on a Vincent. Jay Leno is 6'4", do you think he cares if he "fits" on his Black Shadow? Just buy what you like and ride it. And if you don't know what a Vincent is, just move along to the next post and ignore mine.
they need to start bigger bikes. have to noticed how they use women and really short guys to advertise them? my triumph bobber looks tiny under me and i’m only 6ft. there’s a new taller generation now. taller than me. useful video
I'm covering taller riders in newer videos of this series, uploading videos daily. Here's the playlist. DO I FIT series: ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE

By definition being above average is tall... You know, how averages work?
“6ft 1in”
“Tall”
*laughs in 7ft, then cries knowing I’ll always struggle to find bikes that fit*
Do you fit in any car or bike ?
maybe it's time to try 1250 gs?
i'm 6'4'' but that's probably one of the few bikes we can fit in
Same here, 7 foot and really struggling to find the one :D
I’m also 7’1 maybe 7’2. Any luck finding a good bike that fits you?
@@habanero5.054 I've bought g310gs
Feels a lot les solid than a bigger displacement ones. But overall fine.
This is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for.
Yeap, at 6'8 ya aint feelin the real struggles. Love the vid though, very informative!
I can only imagine your frustration, thanks for the feedback 👍
@Tall RVr no luck. but now that its winter i need to upgrade my sled so the moneys going into that.
i’m also 6’8 and i feel your pain. being tall and lanky sucks
im also like 6,5, it's surely still managable. with 6,8 good luck... you should try tourers like hondas africa twin
Also 6"8 i feel u guys

I need help. I am 6ft5 308lbs ( 196cm 140kg ). I like more classical look but I would like to be able to do mix 80/20 (road/offroad). Also I would love if I could somehow get sidecar for my 110lbs (50kg) dog. Plus some basic trip things or camping gear. Thank you in advance for recommendation. Also can you do size test for URAL motorcycle ?
I have made a couple of videos on the Ural, you'll find them here www.youtube.com/@BikesILike/search?query=ural but I don't believe I've made a specific Do I Fit video on that specific bike?
I will make that video and I will soon be including a 6'7" rider. ;)
@@BikesILike thank you very much I highly appreciate your dedication and work.
This is a great video. Thank you for sharing. Would be great to see a Yamaha MT-03 as well. Again, fabulous video.
Thank you, you're welcome! Have added the MT-03 to the list 👍
6ft10
Only bike i've ever comfortably fitted on is a 1300 pan euro.
Hi Paul. Myself 6.1 do s1000rr and zx10r suits me?
is it even possible to find 600cc naked bike as 6'5?
Any comments about the cb1100 for a 6’3 person?
CB1100 EX ruclips.net/video/6AnfC4MtDlc/видео.html
CB1100 RS ruclips.net/video/xqDl_DH_oHc/видео.html
I have a theory that at any point where you’re knee is above the line of the hips tends to look uncomfortable. I’m 6’5 and my Suzuki m109 is close to perfect and so is my KTM super adventure, infact any large adventure bike will be ants pants for taller riders
My question is - *what is this program?* It's not photoshop, not gimp, obviously not paint, and it doesn't look like any CAD software I'm familiar with (those being AutoCAD and Inventor) - is it SketchUp? Looks a bit too 2D oriented to be sketchup I think.
So... what is this program?
EDIT: Nevermind, I just found it's blender under Part 1 of this.
Hey man. Can you do Bonneville T120? I'm also 6'1''
You'll find the T120 here. tinyurl.com/DIF-Videos
@BikesILike Very nice video! I’m just the same size and want to ask, if you can do another video with some 125ccm motorcycles? Like a Honda shadow, Yamaha XVS, Suzuki Intruder, Magpower Legenders, Magpower Tennessee, Leonart Pilder, Leonart Daytona or some other chopper/cruiser bikes
Thank you! I have a new series covering riders from 5'3 to 6'4 you can watch those here ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE
I'm currently working my way through all the road going bikes currently available from all the manufacturers. Once I have that pretty much under control I will start branching out to other bikes. I'll add your recommendations to that list 👍
@@BikesILike thanks a lot!
I’ve been looking through your videos and they all are good, but you only cover big motorcycles. I only can ride 125cc and searching for a chopper/ cruiser with my 1.9metre 😅. Hopefully you can find some of the bikes I write before and how it looks sitting on them as a tall guy.
@@50fiddy05 Ok thanks for filling me in on your situation. I'll start adding in smaller capacity bikes in the next batch of bikes. Just be aware there are currently 18 bikes ahead of them in the queue so it might be a couple of weeks before you start seeing them 👍
My friend and I are trying to get into riding and are planning to buy motorcycles in the spring. He’s 5’2 and I’m 6’5 (yes we do look ridiculous when we hang out together) he doesn’t understand why I’m already looking for a bike that’ll fit me.
That's great to hear Conor! If you head over to my channel home page youtube.com/@bikesilike or click the BIL icon you'll find a playlist of all the bikes I've covered in my Do I Fit series. There's around 250 bikes covered so far. At the top of my channel page you'll find tabs, Home, Videos, Shorts etc scroll across those tabs to the right and at the end you'll find a little magnifying glass. Use that to search my channel and find every video I've ever made on a particular bike.
If you have any questions just ask! I'm happy to help and would love to see you guys get into riding. 👍
The Suzuki M109R and the Honda Gold Wing looked the best and most comfortable fit.
The Honda Rebel 500 looks a fit ...
Yes it does, which surprised me.
great video... any chance of adding bmw R1250RS to one of the future videos
I'll add it to the list 👍
The question is not if you will fit on these bike. The true question is HOW LONG will you fit on them. Anyway this was kina funny and well done. I'll say you look best on the Tiger 900. Thx!
Such a funny solution, but hey if it gets the job done, then it's good enough :D
cool video, I'm also 6'1''. I saw you also did a video for the 2021 Ducati Monster. Lovely bike, but 6'1'' looks a bit too big. Just looks like there are other bikes that fit that height so much better. But again, it was the same with my mx-5 and still bought it in the end.
Thank you. I did respond to your comment on the Ducati video. I think you'd be quite comfortable on the 950. 👍
@@BikesILikebtw really nice work you have performed, nobody shows these perspectives anywhere else. could you also do Ducati Scrambler Nightshift?
@@VladInc Thank you! I have covered the Scrambler Desert Sled and Icon, you'll find them listed here... DIF VIDEOS Listed Alphabetically: tinyurl.com/DO-I-FIT-Videos Might give you an indication of size?
I will add the Nightshift to the list of future videos. 👍
@@BikesILike yes, i've had at look. i did a 'ducati' search on your videos, so easy to find. thank you, I really like the fit on the desert sled. would be cool if you want to do the nightshift in the future, maybe also multistrada 950. and there is one more idea, if you want to consider: it would be cool if you added a third pose, with the feet down to the ground and the hands on the bars, since this is how you typically wait at the lights. good job
Thank you for posted this.
You're welcome!
Could you do a 2016 kawasaki z1000sx with the 6.1" figure please?
Only focusing on current models at the moment Craig
have you done an mt-10
could you do it with the 125cc most common bikes?
Yes my plan is to cover most new bikes. Here's a list of all the bikes I've covered so far. tinyurl.com/DIF-Videos
triumph tiger looks comfy
So what's your jacket size ?
I checked the size of the jacket I'm wearing in this video and it reads 46/56.
Can we make a request for 6foot4 rider? :) for YAMAHA SCR 950 ,cant try it, there is no in any dealer in where i live :)
Already Done!! Check out the 'Do I Fit' playlist featuring a 6'4" rider. ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE
I'll upload a SCR900 video later on today. 👍
@@BikesILike thats great i'll be waiting, thanks and cheers!
@@LoneWolfMotorcycle You're welcome!
Curious to know if you have done the Vulcan 900 custom? I am the same height. Thanks!
Haven't done it yet Brad but I will get to it.
@@BikesILike thanks! Too late anyway really as I pick my new one up on Friday 😅
@@vtwindad1549 Nice one. Enjoy!
@@BikesILike I will! And I'm from the same area as you as it seems. Ballarat Geelong area
@@vtwindad1549 Nice part of the world :) I like the orange and black colour scheme on the 2021 Custom, is that the one you're getting?
i wish the yamaha tmax 530 and mt 07 were on there,im 6'6 and that's what I'm interested in because I'm not looking for anything to powerful
Keep an eye on my new DO I FIT series. I'll definitely be covering these bikes in future videos, there are currently 22 bikes uploaded and more coming everyday. 👍
DO I FIT series playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE
@@BikesILike i will bro
These videos are incredibly useful. Thank you for making them. If you chose to turn this into an app where the dimensions of the rider can be adjusted, I, for one, would definitely buy it. In the previous installment you mentioned the Versys 1000. I'm 6', but with a, Hmm let's say "rounder" shape. I road tested a first generation Versys 1000 and it was awful, just awful.
Thanks CaptHollister! I'll keep the app idea in the back of my mind. I don't think a lot's changed with the Versys 1000. I have read the latest model has a comfortable seat but it still looks at steep angle to me. If I get a chance I'll throw a leg over one and check it for comfort and see how it compares to my 2nd gen Versys 1000. 👍
Would appreciate seeing the fit on Triumph Speedmaster. Thanks.
Added to the list!
Rather creative. I'm 4 in taller, but still a good indication. Don't know how much you would compress the different seats with your weight in real life, though. But thx. for the vid.
The newer videos in this series now feature a 6'4 rider. Keep an eye on these videos as I upload a new bike every day. DO I FIT series playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE
Thank you, great video
Thank you!
aprilia dorseduro 900????
Could you post the position with a Kawasaki Z800 (2014) ? Thanks. 🙂
I'll add it to the list 👍
I'm 6'9'' with full gear. So I just drive a Can-Am.
thanks for the content , shout out to taller riders lol
Im 6'4" 37" inseam. Can you do those dimensions?
My new 'DO I FIT' series videos feature a 6'4" rider with a 37" inside leg. You'll find all those videos right here. 👍 COMPLETE VIDEO LIST!! See ALL the bikes covered so far listed in alphabetical order. tinyurl.com/DO-I-FIT-Videos
very nice, am the same tall as u r sir, please do the bmr r 9 T thx
Im tall 2m(200cm) do i fit of hanway furious 50
plz make video for MT-03
Ok I'll ensure the MT-03 video gets made this week 👍
Where is Kawasaki Vulcan 650s?
You'll find it right here. tinyurl.com/DO-I-FIT-Videos
It even got it's own special video. 😁
@@BikesILike Thank you! 👊
@@karlougrina8581 You're welcome! 👍
193 cm for KTM 1290 Superduke R and Kawasaki ZH2...please!
You'll find the ZH2 video with a 193 cm rider right here. tinyurl.com/DO-I-FIT-Videos
The 1290 Super Duke R is coming. 👍
make another series for 6'5" pls :D
You'll find a 6'4" rider covered in these videos tinyurl.com/DIF-Videos
That should give you a good indication for 6'5" 😉
This is a good idea and would be useful if it was accurate. But the shinbone in your simulations is way too long.
Doing this with catagories "Sport bikes", "Naked Bikes", "Cruisers", "Adventure Bikes" would be fantastic!
Thanks so much!
Working on it. You're welcome 👍
Thanks for comparing 2 seat positions on a Bobber, as promised! ;)
You're welcome Bond.
The Arch KRGT1 is the one I should buy... Just need to sell the house and a kidney.
Great idea, video.
Cool but unfortunately this doesn't show a real picture. For example if you sit in real life on Honda Rebel and on Z900RS you'll fill the opposite of what you saw here, the Rebel is tiny and Z900RS is quite big and roomy.
I think I'll delete these two original videos as my process has evolved a lot since they were made. Keep an eye on my 'Do I Fit' playlist for more up to date renderings. There are currently 60 bikes there and the list grows daily! ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE
Bruh im 6’7 i dont think this will help me. Im probably never going to find a bike that will fit me
I feature a 6'4" rider in my newer 'Do I Fit' videos which will be closer to your height. You can see the complete list of those videos here tinyurl.com/DO-I-FIT-Videos
thanks, really
how do you do this
I cant believe you havent added the Hayabusa to the list. Just for the sake of it😅 Btw can you make size comparisons for very tall and very short people too?
Have added the new Hayabusa to the list. Will see what I can do regarding very tall and very short people 👍
I am 6'-5" and my old YZF 1000(Thunderace) fits me pretty well because of it being a large sport bike similar in size to Hyabusa.
Sorry little brother but 6'1 is not a taller Rider that's pretty much average..taller would be 6'3 and over
I know, I feel short standing next to a basketballer. But the average height for a male in the US is 5'9". At 6'1" I'm actually taller than average. 😉
6’1” ! Sorry mate, but that’s about one notch above ‘short arse’ .and I’m only 6’4” I ride a GS800 and a WR250. I’ve done a few mods on both of them to make ‘em a bit more roomy, raised seats, and bars, lowered pegs. Good results, for me. I read some comments here from 7 footers ! Wow ! Fuck your luck fellahs…
This is awesome haaha awesome graphics, info and choice of bikes. Subbed! Awesome content.
Could you add the honda cb1000r and 650r and the aprilia rs 660 on your next video? You sure have to make a serie of "do i fit" hahah
Thank you so much and will do! I'll add them to the list. There's a few new bikes that have been released, I'll start compiling them for a new video and I'll include 5'9" Ted as well 😉
@@BikesILike much appreciated mr. Awesome work 💪 and the 6'1 hahah you're exactly my size. Its refreshing to actually know how i would look on one of those. Greetings from portugal 👏
Pls dear lord, don't make me taller. I'm on the edge of just fitting on an mt07. I don't wanna be too tall 😂🤪
thank the good lord for your height brother. When we get off that bike, all the ladies love us. Keep in mind, there are modifications you can make on bikes as well for your height.
Dude. Make an app and you will be a millionaire by 2023!
I'm strongly considering it 😉👍
Tall....ehhh, debatable. Thanks for the video.
I hear you. 😁
I didn't watch the whole video but let me sum up "do you fit?" If you're over 5'9" you're not going to "fit" on a Vincent. Jay Leno is 6'4", do you think he cares if he "fits" on his Black Shadow? Just buy what you like and ride it. And if you don't know what a Vincent is, just move along to the next post and ignore mine.
Straight to the point, I like that 😁
Jay is 5 foot 11.
Комментарий к видео
they need to start bigger bikes. have to noticed how they use women and really short guys to advertise them? my triumph bobber looks tiny under me and i’m only 6ft. there’s a new taller generation now. taller than me. useful video
Dude you ain't tall.. You're above average and that's it. :S
Nevertheless, the video is informative.
I'm covering taller riders in newer videos of this series, uploading videos daily. Here's the playlist. DO I FIT series: ruclips.net/p/PLJgSla8UdWy0NdhgaMK7G5m7T0xvGgtjE
By definition being above average is tall... You know, how averages work?
