      Dude. Can I suggest a KLR 650. That thing is a tank and the power/speed isn't enough for you to mess up too much. And if it falls (as most likely it will at some point) they're cheap to fix.

    Yes, do more videos! I'm 6"4 and it's always hard to find a bike of my taste, and I'm saying this but cause of course there are (the BMW r1200gs fits perfectly for a tall rider) but I'm more into the cafe racer style

    Thanks for this. I have an xsr900 and I've put 30K miles on it in two years. I recommend that any tall rider customize the seat. It's made a big difference because it allows me to sit back further, thus my knees aren't as bent and not as close to the frame sliders.

      - MT-09 SP with the rally tall seat from seat concepts
      - KTM 790 Duke with the ergo tall seat.
