hey hey!
So many bikes are on my "to do" list but at my height, i'm limited to very few...
Too young to retire to a Harley and after selling my 2005 Ninja 250 i miss the sporty riding position...
Would I fit on a F4i? what have other tall riders done to modify the seating position? Would i be better off with the bannana seat or the two tier version?

You're 6'7" and managed to ride on a Ninja 250? And you considered that a sporty riding position??
I'm 5'11" and my knees are almost bent 90° while flat footing a 250. I did not consider it a sporty riding position at all. It felt like a scooter. But if you managed to ride that before and actually liked it, the F4i will be a way better fit. Both the F4i's banana seat and split seat are the same height so its no issue either way.

im 6'3" and i fit very well on the f4i but i do suggest some adjustable rearsets, they make a big difference :D

6'4 here and I bought the F4i for its comfort and relatively roomy ergonomics. If you dealt with a 250 then try Kawasaki's 650R that is a comfortable bike for sure, although I don't know if you would like its high bars.

I'm 6'6" and the f4i fits me absolutely perfectly. The only issue I have ever had is when i have a passenger and get pushed up to the tank....but that shouldn't be a problem.

yeah i bought it that way and was a bit skeptikal but it all worked out nicely to me it feels nicer cause being so tall on my f3 i felt too high from the ground in corners... but this feels as if i am shorter LOl
