    I've been down a bunch of different rabbit holes, trying to find info on bikes for tall beginners. This is one of the best vids I've found, so thanks!

    I took the MSF course recently at my local Harley dealer. The bike I used was a base street 500 I think. I’m 6’4” and on the first riding day my hips cramped up terribly. I felt like a circus bear on a mini-bike.

    That was very interesting. Thank you. Kevin was extremely helpful, I thought, and would no doubt help me (at 6'7") to pin down the ideal steed in the Ducati stable. A Multistrada seems favourite but the joy is in the hunt. 👍

    • @BikesVansandThings
      @BikesVansandThings  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It sounds like the multi or the diavel x with moved floor plates if you like muscle cruisers? The new adv bike coming may also be a good fit but I think defo those three?

    Hi Rob,
    I'm also 6'3 and looking to get a new bike during the spring time.
    I suggest you try out the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE. It's a perfect fit for us taller riders and it will most likely be my next bike.
    Wish you a great weekend!

      All Triumph bikes seem a tad larger than normal. I am also going for a triump street triple. Just because the bike has a better sitting and seems larger than other naked bikes.

    Great video - as a long person, I'm torn between the Hyper, the Multi and the Desert X. My local Ducati Dealer scratched his head and said he'd never seen someone so easily flat foot a Desert X when I sat on it.

    • @BikesVansandThings
      @BikesVansandThings  ปีที่แล้ว

      Mm…I changed up the springs on my SCr950 but that was to increase the ride height. I’m 115kg around 250lbs, and had no issues with other bikes. Hope this helps

    • @BikesVansandThings
      @BikesVansandThings  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think you’d be perfect for the scrambler range, either the 1100 or 1200’s. Sounds like you’re a fairly slim 6’2 so visually will work. If you were 6’2 and 100kg+ I wouldn’t go for anything but the 1200’s. Make sense?

      I would give it a ride as dependent on your dimensions and the forward pegs it may fit well. I was a little disappointed as thought it would be bigger. For me it’s too small.

    Rob, get yourself a KTM 890 Adventure R. A do everything bike. Great for tall riders. Lots of legroom. The best suspension you can get. Luggage available for it, and not just KTM's. Commute, tour, go off-road. No Ducati is anywhere near as good off-road.
