im pretty new to sport bikes myself and cannot offer a whole lot of info but wanted to welcome ya to the board

 

you know it will be like me @ 5'11" 225lbs rideing a pocket bike doing about 200mph, i would not feel to good about rideing it.
i have no idea howsomeone 6'10" would even fit on a bike like that, where are your knees going to be and you would have to put ape hangers on the bike just to accomidate your arm lenth. i'm glad you like these bikes but you should realy consider something else more to your size. no offence..i just can't picture a big boy like yourself on a bike like that. i would think that it would be unsafe for you.....

Its more about your height then the weight...
Ive seen heavy people ride wit their even heavier girl on the back

 

Thanks for all the advice everyone! It will really help.


rons93rr: its not so much that i like these specific bikes, i really have no set interest other than i would prefer a Honda. I need something to get me through the city (austin) point a-b without emptying my wallet. My original post detailed that the reason why i have become interested in Honda sport bikes is because of their availablity. i am having a VERY hard time finding affordably priced project/running honda cruisers, which is what my number one priority is, and conversly i am finding a glut of honda sport bikes!


if i cant find it... i cant ride it in the first place, much less that it could hold me.

 

have you considered a DL650 dual sport.... Im 6 1' and have a hard time reaching the ground
(work at a Suzuki dealer and believe it or not they are just as reliable as Hondas (90% of the work is maint. or carb cleans from sitting)

with some 95% street tires youll be getting some great gas mileage
plus they are only $5,099 Brand New )look into getting a leftover for less

 

Suzuki and Kawasaki are too expensive for my tastes compared to anything Honda. What do you mean by "reaching the ground"
