I'm 6'2" with 32" leg, and I had the same concerns.

I have ridden it for an hour and found no problems, except you will be more open to wind blast. The Cowl and visor do little to help us taller riders. Depending on how you ride, I found the visor to be perfect for scooping the air right up under my helmet, with continuous force making it feel as though it was going to rip my head off, or at least pull the helmet off and bounce it down the road. This is my only real complaint.

It does feel small, well it IS small, but very nimble and so much fun to throw around. It is very comfortable, although I will be looking to replace the handle bars after a few weeks, as I want slightly different geometry.

This bike is somehow perfect all variety of heights/weight, I doubt you will be dissapointed.
