Hello all. I am just curious as to how tall you guys and gals are. Sometimes I feel cramped on the bike but days like today I could care less. Went riding with a friend on some twisties and the bike is so flickable and fun.

Anyway, just curious.....I am 6' - 6'1" depending on my mood and 230lbs. I wonder if I am big compared to the average Classics owner.

Thank goodness a manufacturer makes decent bikes with low seat height. At 5'6" I have few options for non-cruiser bikes that allow both feet to be placed firmly on the ground. The Legend fits me very well once rolling as well and probably feels cramped to anyone above average height.

I believe my '95 TB has a one inch higher seat height than later models.

I am 6ft 4 and I find the bike roomy and ergonomic, particualrly compared to any sports bike out there. Cruisers may be longer but the seat height is much lower in comparison.

In fact the only bike that I have ridden which is larger in terms of seat height, bar reach and overall size would be the Tiger!

I'm 6ft and I dont feel the Tbird is cramped at all. I have a 98 with the earlier locking seat, maybe that helps.

I'm 6'3" 210# and I love the fit of my 98 TB. Mine had the king and queen seat on it when I bought it so I don't know if that adds any height or helps the fit.

5'10" with the King & Queen seat on my Adventurer, perfect for me. My wife rides well at 5'4", especially with the panniers gone (thanks Ken) and the addition of the sissy bar.

I am about 5' 11". When I first got on the '96 Adventurer, I thought it felt a little cramped but I believe this was due to being used to sitting in the middle of the flat seat on the older bonny's. The more "formed" seat on the Adventurer kind of forces you to sit closer to the tank. However, with a few hundred miles on it now, I find it to be comfortable.

I am 5'10" around 180lbs (plus a little) and 44 years into my life.
When I went looking for a new bike I didn't consciously look for one to fit my size.
I was trying them for the overall fit, riding position.

I feel very comfortable on my 2K-TBS, and it fits my idea of a motorcycle.
