    I own a 91 vfr. I'm 6' 5" tall. I feel too big for almost any sportbike I ride. I love the vfr but wonder if I once again have purchased a bike thats too small for me. I'm looking into bar risers. Any suggestions on which are best for tall riders. Thanks for any input.

    I'm not as tall as you (6'0"), but I use Helibars on my 94. It helps, but I'm not sure if there is something even taller out there.

    Wow! still though not as tall as my son, as he's 6'8" doesn't have any problems at least he's never said anything. besides that his daily ride is a 954rr and doesn't say anything about that one either, could be he's just more flexable? I'd also say this as not to be rude, But, get use to it. it's what it is, a Very Fine Ride.. I'm 6'1" don't have anything to complain about and have done a many 400 plus day trips with a stock seat to boot too. but of course I'm not in your shoes just wanted to let ya know how I felt. no hard feelings I hope.
