Am I too tall?
I am 23 years old. I'm 6'2" and 185 pounds. I'm thinking about getting either the R-1 or the R-6 within the next month. This will be my first bike and I was wondering if this sounds like bikes i should be thinking about and if these bikes would even fit me (I'm sorry if i sound ignorant on the matter..... but I am... lol... Thank you).

Look in the other forums about first bikes. You're right an R-1 or R-6 will not fit you, as you have not had enough expirence to properly opperate one. No bike above 500cc will "fit" you. As far as phisically being on one go to a dealer and sit on the bike.
A little side note: To all those who want R-1s and R-6 as first bikes, disgrace a different namesake.

bball,
great to hear you're going to get your first ride. here are my two cents. have you ever considered getting a used bike? its your first bike so it might be a good idea to get a used one so you can practice on that bike. Now, the money you save on plunking down for a new one can be used for getting a riders training course of some sort. get yourself educated on riding. believe me what you learn in these courses could mean a great deal along the line.

make sure you get a nice life insurance policy, but make sure it covers motorcycle deaths.

hahaha, What a lovely group we are with these attitudes!!! hahaha
But they're right... Almost ANY 600 is too much bike for a new rider. Losing a few hundred dollars by buying a smaller bike for starters and then reselling (IF even THAT much loss) is MUCH more economically sound than surgery and skin grafts because your penis/head/mother's dad's monkey's uncle said you could handle more. As for your size.... You're nothin in size, hunny. My dad is 6'4.5" and he rides a Honda VFR800 Interceptor!!! It just comes down to personal preference and comfort.

 A little explanation to all the noobs... We get these attitudes from seeing, and headring about people (some that we know) crashing, being hit, and dying. Motorcycles are dangerous. Why would you want to risk more than you have to, by trying to learn on a bike that has very little room for error? Quote:
