fabiavrs86 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Hi all, Have been driving for about 7 years and recently my Dad got the urge to get a bike and its rubbed off onto me. So my plan is to get my CBT for a wee while till I am confident enough to get the DAS. My Dad got a 2004 xvs 125 and I fancy the same although I think I am a bit too big for it ( 6ft 7in ). Anyone got any suggestions along the same style of bike that would fit my style or would a xvs 125 be ok if I alter the handle bar position. Thanks Euan
blackhat250 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Welcome..uwan" i think a dt125 is a tall bike for lads, not a cruiser tho" cruisers are low slung / Lanark show next month ,,
fabiavrs86 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 I prefer the cruisers but looks like I may have to go a different route or chop my legs down a bit. Hopefully have some sort of bike by then and take a trip down.
Moderator Airhead Posted April 10, 2013 Moderator Posted April 10, 2013 Greetings fab, thats a tall story if ever I heard one..
bippo Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Hey Euan, glad you've been bitten by the biking bug, it's great! I know it's not a cruiser, or a Yammy, but the Honda Varadero 125 is a big learner bike. We can't have you chopping your legs down a bit...
Sacha Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 I have the opposite problem... at 5'2" all the bikes I like are too tall for me. I'd say see what's out there and try on a few before you decide. Oh and welcome aboard!
dt502001 Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 How do and welcome at 6'7 any bike will be to small,my buddy at 6'4 rides a xl 650 and it looks like a mini bike under his 320lbs. At least if it breaks you can tuck it under your arm and carry it home
