Default is 600 rr too small.

i'm new to this forum so be easy... i've been looking at a 600rr i sat on the 06' and 07' today the 06' felt way too small of a bike for me but the 07' felt better. i'm 6'1" and weigh 185. i was wondering how tall and how much some of you guys weigh that own the 600rr thanks

5'-10" and 220 lb
No problems for me, but its a personal thing. Each of the 600's has a slightly different reach and feel,
but the seat heights are all around the same.
Make sure you take 5 minutes on each one, really try and get a feel for the riding position. For me the Honda wasn't the most comfortable, but it was a close second.

I beleive that the '07 has slightly raised bars over the '06, and the seat is slightly different too.

Good luck,

My 07 has plenty of room for me and the seat feels good even after long runs, buts its all about how you feel on it so go take a sit.

Hmmm looks like most of honda riders are tall and short riders go with gixxer's.
