Would a ninja 650r be comfortable for someone 6'6?

Question

6'6 but only 210 pounds. Would it ride fine being that tall on it?

Answer 1

In my opinion, I don't think you would sit well on any sport bike.

Go to a Kawasaki dealership and sit on one.

Answer 2

The frames on 650's are small. I wouldn't recommend it.

Answer 3

I believe Michael Jordan rides a 750. You should be alright.

Answer 4

All sport bikes may be small for you, but the 650r will be much more comfortable than the supersports.

You would have enough arm room, but your legs may get a little cramped as the seat height is a little low. Look up the Kawi Versys, same frame and engine but taller. just go to a dealer and sit on em.

Answer 5

As an owner of 650R and 6'1 it is great. My son is 6'3 and rides it all the time with no concerns. I also lended it to my friend 6'5 for a week while he was on vacation and he loved it. I agree with you going down to the dealer and sitting on one, kick a tire or two. You will have no issues of power, Trust me! This bike is a sleeper. But I will say.... you might consider the Suzuki V-Strom 650. Its a larger framed bike with all the power you need and tons of versatility.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

Also try the Suzuki SV650, Ducati Monster, Honda 599, Yamaha FZ6, Aprilia Shiver 750, or Suzuki GSX650F

Answer 7

I'm 6'3" and while I've only sat on one, not taken one for an extended ride, it seemed to fit me pretty well.  I ended up buying a Suzi Bandit 650 ( now called the GSX650F but basically the same bike with a fairing ) as it fit my frame very well.  One other notable mention is the BMW F800ST.  I  sat on one at a bike show and really liked it for its tall seat height and comfortable ergonomics
