I need some opinions on some real questions I have for my decision in possibly purchasing a 06 Speedy. I've read just about every article I can find and from a performance standpoint the speedy is the front runner. My question is though I'm 6'2 and I'm wanting a sweet Naked that will be comfortable for me to ride, will this bike be too small for me? The other bike I ride is a 04 RC51. "Which isn't comfortable at all". Also the little lady loves to ride too..."Get you mind outa the gutter"........lol :razz: But will she be comfortable as well? Any information you guys can give would be great.

Hey I'm 6'3 and about 220 pounds. and i love mine i bought it about six months ago. Its worth every penny. I find it very comfortable, i can and have ridden for hours on end. As far as riding with a passenger its not bad, I personaly dont do it too often unless its a short trip, just not as much fun when your girl dosnt like leaning into turns. Its an amazing bike.

as for rear space, it has limited chick butt-space. the triple makes sure you are sporting hotter girls.

I have a grab rail. It helps alot, but I would say that unless your lady is pretty petite, you will probably limit yourself to hour-long trips, unless you are both pretty hardy.

I am 6'2" 210 pounds. The Speed Triple is a very good fit.

Go take a new one for a test ride.

I JUST (as in last week) bought an 06 S3. Im 6'3" 250 lbs and the bike fits me great! love it! I think I will probably end up getting a new seat down the road. but the ergonomics are just great.

Now doing 100+ MPH...... and being 6'3" on a naked bike.... I kinda feel like a sail!

Yep 6-3 and 225# and it fits good. Bike looks smaller than same sized sport bikes due to lack of plastic. I look big on it but don't feel big riding it. Its comfortable.

2 up isn't its thing however.
