Nope it is me..... Dave is going to buy some spurs for his cuban heeled Alpine Star boots

As for looking too big for your bike, it is all a matter of opinion, I have seen some big fellas and girls for that matter on the Monster and they look great, however there are some short arses on the Monster that look a bit odd. Just my opinion.

Buy what makes you happy and Welcome to the UKMOC.

Yep i'm 6'4'' and riding the monster is fine for seat to peg positions for me. I raised the rear and lowered the forks in the yokes to make the bike look less little, but it still is a smallish bike that does kinda look like a mini moto with me on it. Having said that monsters are great fun to ride

Hi mate. Welcome to the club. My husband rides my S2R1000 with no problems at all and he's 6' 1". I realise that this is smaller than you but even so I can't see the problem myself. Take one out for a spin before you buy mate, you won't be disappointed! These bikes can be adjusted height wise anyway. Cheers Jackie

Congratulations. You'll look something like this on your new toy:

6'4" and 12,000 miles last year. Size isn't an issue. As someone has already said, raising the ride height makes no difference to how it feels once you're riding it.

Oi I resemble that remark. It's nice to know that you think there is nothing wrong with me Dave. Should I be worried?
