I am 6'4 230 and I can fit fine in my 1000rr. Although I get made fun of alot because the bike looks "small" on me.

As long as you like the bike get it. I get the totally opposite reaction being that i'm 5'4 and ride a 929.

azcbr1000........ i am also tall, but im skinny. 6'3" 150 lbs. i felt i had to get the 1k because my arms are long on a 600 i was sitting straight up. on a 1k i feel like i gotta lean over the tank more and have a more natrural look??? just was my thoughts on my purchase. i love my 061krr wouldn't trade it for the world.
