I'll chime in......

I'm 6'1" and weight 165. I thought it was small at first, but these bikes are supposed to be small and nimble.

It's kind of like motorcycle jackets in a way. At first, you try them on, and your first impression is "Holy crap, they're freakin' tiny!". But that's the way they're supposed to be. Same goes for the bikes themselves......to a new rider, they may feel small, but then you get used to them (...........and then a car feels freaking HUGE)

I'm 6'8" 345lbs and ride a Ninja 250. Fits me perfect!!!!! No, really 5'8" 195lbs and love the way my 07 feels.

KS67456- lol, that gave me a chuckle with the ninja 250.

5'6' 195lbs, and the 05 rr fits like a glove. a little too high for moving the bike with my feet, but can live with it because the ride is so much fun.

The thing with motorcycles is that they're all pretty much the same size. Sure the seat height moves a bit, the bars move a bit, but fundamentally they are built for a rider... and since they're built either for jockeys (sportbikes) or the average joe if you're average size it'll work (otherwise you'll feel like some of us - a dog humping a foot ball).

In actual fact, the 250 probably has more leg room than the 600rr... it certainly has more comfortably placed bars.

So - go sit on the bike, if it feels good after an hour you'll be fine

im 5'9" weighing in at 177 and have plenty of room on my 2004. I prefer the 2007, so that bike should be just fine for you!
