Hey everyone I am new to this site, I have always loved the look of the hondas and of course I have read very good things about there reliability, but I am pretty tall ( about 6'3 ) and was wondering if the CBR 1k would be a comfortable bike for me, I realize that comfort isnt really a main concern when buying a streetbike but I would like to get the bike that would be the most comfortable at least. Thanks in advance...

 

im 6'1 and once in a while i get a cramp in my hip. but im still finding that sweet spot for riding comfortably.

 

I'M 6'4" TALL AND I DO WELL WITH THE 1k. i FIND IT COMFORTABLE TO SLIDE UP TO THE TANK AND CRUISE.

YOU JUST NEED TO FIND A COMFORT ZONE FOR YOUR SELF.

 

I am 6'4 and 225. I do fine. Even though i make the 1000 look like a 600,

 

alright thanks for your guys's replies I am glad that they work for you ...because I have always loved hondas and always ridden there dirtbikes but didnt know if it would work but im glad to hear it does, thanks again!! cant wait to get my check and go buy mine!!!

 

From what i have heard from my friends who own one, you will NOT want a GSX-R.

The CBR is good, but I have heard that the R1 is also good for taller riders. I haven't heard anything about the ninja

 

yeah I have done a little research into the R1 as well and have found that it seems that the ergonomics are similar to the cbr 1000 but the honda seems to be much more reliable!!

 

I'm 6'3" and my 06 ZX-10R is a little tight in leg room but nothing too bad (a little less cramped than my previous 600rr). Overall comfort has been pretty good, though my stamina for nonstop riding is still somewhere around 1 hour before I have to get off and move around....

 

I'm 6'2" the cbr was great, then i put the rear sets on and its GREAT, the R1 was pretty nice too, the GSX-R was horrific an the ZX-10 wasn't too bad, i wouldn't want to stay on it for more than an hour at a time

 

+1 here 6'4 and ride about two hours max before hips and knees start to hurt. Track days are the way to go because they are only 20 minute sessions usually and there is no problem with being stationary you are always moving around and hanging on!!!! Gotta love the rush from speed and the thrill from making these machines perform.
