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

Welcome..uwan" i think a dt125 is a tall bike for lads, not a cruiser tho" cruisers are low slung / Lanark show next month ,,

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.

Greetings fab, thats a tall story if ever I heard one..

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...

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!

hello and welcome from me

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
