Is the SV too small for me? - SV650.org

Hi folks

This is probably a daft question but does the SV have an intended size rider? I am 6'1" and 13st, should i really be looking at larger "physical" size bikes? I currently own a curvy and enjoy it very much but i do have rather long legs lol and don't want to put lower foot pegs on. Just curious about peoples thoughts.

Thanks, Tom.

I'm 5ft 10inches and a 14 stone big boned lad and its fine for me in all respects. I had to change the angle of the brake pedal and gear lever and it spot on now.

You wont look to big on it unless you are Bear proportions.

If its making you cramp and becomes uncomfortable then it may not suit the flexibility of your frame.
