too tall for most nakeds

well just been down to girths work with kuze and had a butchers about looking for my next bike (yes i know ive only just got the gxsr ) for all year round biking
problem is i dont fit on half the bikes i want arggghhhhhh
tried, speed triple, street triple, b king, turno, gsr (gsr if fing tiny btw) even the bandit gt i was knocking my knees off the tank
but i did find 1 that fit like a glove and is the perfect engine size and configuration imho
the shiver mmmmmmm even looks well, sorting out a test ride for when the weathers a bit better and am seriously tempted, i do need a go on a sv1000n as well sometime so i think its betwen them at the min
if you can think of owt else for me to try pipe up or if you think the shiver or the sv are pants let me know why

and NO surgery is not an option as much as i wouldnt mind lossing an inch or 10

also looks like we will be getting mrs giggles a gladus as she fit on that perfectly

Vstrom or tiger, they are huge !!

Tuono would have definately been the one I'd have suggested size wise, Dave.

Especially the Mark 1 version.

Ducati Hypermotard?

Funnily enough the Shiver is the only bike I've sat on that fits me like a glove, though I'm not as tall as you (6'2"), but I do have 33" legs. The CB1000R is also decently comfortable for a tall person.

mmm yes the tiger forgot about that one
pete the problem was the tank shape crushing my knees which is a shame cos i really liked the look of it and it a millie without the plastic
tbh im trying to keep away from the gs and ktm style bikes the tiger being the possible exception( if you would put it even in the same catagory)

That's what I would have thought. Sat on one a couple of times and I'm fairly tall and it seemed big to me.
