I'm 6'3" with a 34 inseam.
I would say that Meatwagon is correct but it really depends on how flexable you are and what type of riding position you like. Rearsets will help.
When I first got my Bonnie my hips were a little tight so I got a bit of a twang. I just had to loosen up a bit and now everthing is fine.
I do find that the bars are a little to high and have a little to much pull back.
Rearsets with slightly lower bars and less pull back will tranfer the pressure from the butt and hips to the shoulders, arms and wrists.
The lower the bars and the less they are pulled back the more they will transfer the pressure to the upper body.

If your long legged but short of torso, try the Thruxton.
