Hello all,

Im thinking of getting a zxr400 but there is only on thing that puts me off that im not sure about. Is being about 6ft 1-2 ish too tall for it because ive read that it suits smaller people. Is this wrong?

Please help me, im so close to buying one.
thanks

I am a fraction over 6'2" and I find the bike quite spacious. I actually feel more stretched out on the ZXR than on my Triumph 675.

i'm 6'4" knees have a slight tendency to meet the fairing side panels, but not seriously.

other than that I have no problem riding it

My friends 10 year old son sat on my ZXR and was really stretched out to reach the bars, he then sat on a CBR600RR and looked right at home on it, could reach the bars etc just fine.

Kinda says that the 600RR is more cramped than the ZXR

A bunch of tall fuckers that frequent this site, hey!

apparently so. i presume everyone that's sub 6ft has just ignored the thread tho.

proves 400s aren't just bikes for girls and short people

i dont know you see im 5'9" an it reaps havoc with my back lmao.
nobody buys a sports bike for it to be comfy werther your a short butt or or a lanky streak its just good fun all round unless you need to carry a backpac then it gets tricky!

one advantage the lanky types have!

with the benefit of my Mr Tickle arms I can pretty much sit upright if i want to, rather than being stretched over the tank.
