What is best enduro motorcycle for a big man?

Question

I'm 6'6" and 270 lbs, looking to buy an enduro motorcycle that will fit my frame. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I think you'd be pretty happy with a Honda xr400

Answer 2

Kawasaki KLR 650 is another.

Go to some shops and sit on the bikes to see what fits.

Answer 3

I would say that KTM makes the best enduro bikes, I race one in enduros and at any given starting line they are 80% of the bikes out there.

for a larger frame, a 300 xc-w if you're into two strokes or a 450 if you're into four strokes seems to work well. My dad is 6'2 (not quite as tall) and has been pretty happy on his 300.

also, if a bike feels too short, you can get bar risers that really help open up the riding position and make it more comfortable for taller riders

Answer 4

Do you want to ride on road? honda 650.

Do you want to ride trails? xr400/crf450X. Motocross? crf450r.

Yamaha makes comparable models also.

Go sit on them at a dealership and see what is comfortable. You will have to put in new springs for your specific weight. I did that to my bikes myself but the dealer can throw them on when you buy it pretty quick.
