So glad I came across your channel. So little practical advice for us bigger guys. Thanks 👍
Awesome channel! I’m 6ft 3 and I find this channel invaluable! Hopefully you’ll get to review R7
Such a beautiful bike😍 so informative! Can't wait for the next one
Thank you!
Fantastic idea for a channel! Thanks a million, man.
Thank you for watching!
bless you! FYI for anyone looking around BMW K1200 and K1300s is also a great fit for tall rider. I'm 198cm 115kg and it is a sweet fit.
Thank you very much, your video has really helped me, I'm 6'3 and was looking at an r1 but there are literally no reviews for taller riders, this really helped and will be picking mine up soon
Soon came yet??? Or was u just commenting just to be commenting like the rest of these bozo’s up here???
@@allgasnobrakes919 it has indeed, thank you very much, I'm loving it 🙏
@@judahginn1159 that’s wassup!! Welcome to the #YamFam 🙏🙏
@@allgasnobrakes919 thank you bro 🤘🏼
Thank you! Exactly what I needed to see..6’ 245lbs here and did not buy a super bike for this reason..glad I found your channel. New sub
Thank you for your reviews!
Love the video, keep it up.
Great review! My measurements are almost identical to yours, I'm 35lbs heavier, Looking forward to checking out the rest of your "Tall Rider" reviews.This is enough for me to sub! Cheers from BC, Canada.
Ive been light this year due to COVID, but hoping to have many more in the coming year!
Likewise I’m 6’5 295 with a 14 or 15 boot. Everyone says go Harley because I’m to bug for sport bikes but I want a sport bike lol. Love the videos
Great content bro , keep it up !
Thank you!
Thanks for the good review Nice to know 👍🏼🏁.
You are a godsend. UA-camrs always seem to be like 5'6" to 6'2" so they really don't help those of us that are 6'4"+. I was never going to get a supersport but it's good to know that the CBR1000 sucks and the R1 fits us, if I ever want to go that route. Being around the same height as you, I'm looking at naked bikes with 650cc engines primarily. I feel like they are big enough to work for a lot of us. I'd be happy with the power of a Z400 but I'd look like your goofy ass on the Duke 390 lol.
Hopefully one day you can sling a leg over a CB650F, SV650 or Z650
edit: just found videos you've made on those types of bikes lol
Glad you found those videos! Hopefully I can find a honda next season
Love i got sent this video been thinking on wether I should get a R1 at 6” 3 and you just helped me lol thank
Did you get one?
Good stuff, do you track ride? If yes, what do you have or could you recommend? For the record i currently daily a MT 09, im inch shorter than you, same weight, feel good on the MT but looking for something for track (tucking w MT sucks on elbows).
Great video! Is the R1 still up for sale? If you could provide any information, I’d appreciate it!
Great video! subscibed!
thanks for your videos! id love to see somehing for a hypermotard
Great review, would love to see it against a Panigale review
Nice review on the R1, really an inspiration for us taller riders. Im about the same height as you (maybe a little lower) but how is the R6 compared to the R1 ? And are you planning a review on the R6 ? Anyways Nice video keep up the good work ;)
Yup I am on the hunt for an r6! I think the r1, especially previous mode year, was comfier than the r6.
Great review! What is your opinion, i'm the same height as you, which bike is most comfortable for tall guys ? I was going for a CBR1000RR 2014 but after watching your videos no i am confused. Thank you !
Thanks for checking out the video! If you like, go ahead and watch my cbr1000rr review. But I do think this gen r1s are more comfortable. If you really want the fireblade, you can get some after market rearsets and lower them an inch.
I’m 6,4 relatively new rider.
Started and currently riding Vulcan 900 which is a good (not perfect though) fit for my hight.
I was thinking about getting a sport bike, I’m not a big fan of high speed (100mph is probably my top comfortable speed) but I really love acceleration ability of a sport bike.
Major concern is I’m doing a lot of research of the rider hight issue and it looks so ridiculous.
You really look like a tall teenager on a toddler bicycle. That’s how I look at it.
Thank you!
Great video. Have you tried out the 2016 to current R1? Any word on how friendly it is for your height? I'm 6 foot and am looking into one of those.
I unfortunately haven’t had the pleasure of riding the new R1s. But from what I’ve seen and read, the new ones are more aggressive, higher pegs and wider clip ons. A little bit of money and I’m sure you can make it work!
Thank you I have liked and will subscribe, I am 6'6 and looking to buy a big bang R1 now thanks again Mike (UK) I will be seeing if you have suggestions on clothing
I really appreciate your review, one thing that kept bothering me from certain UA-camrs is the statement of the Honda CBR being the Most comfortable of the sport bikes. When in fact you hear the big name reviews MCN visor down ect say that the CBR has a cramped seating position. So I'm wondering how can the CBR be the most comfortable o h wait that's it your short. Lol of course it woukd be comfortable for you. I own a 07zx6r and I love it. My longest journey on it was to NJ which is 2 1/2 hours from me. I don't have a gel or aftermarket seat and I was comfortable. I'm looking at a zx10r or a 15 R1, and my only concern with the R1 was just what you explained. So again I greatly appreciate your review and honesty. Stay safe on those 2's Peace ✌from PA 07ZX6R
Glad you found the video helpful!
Have you been on a gixxer 1000r? 6’ 245lbs here..love the R1 but the gixxer equally..
I was so excited to see my city in the back, yinzer nation.
Great video ;) just a quick question :) I have a Yamaha FZ1 and I’m 6’4”. How to adjust to feel much more comfortable and looks cool? :D
Thanks! Ive been thinking about getting the FZ1, how do you like it? I would add a bit of padding in the seat, maybe an inch. That improve the knee angle, making it more comfortable
Brap Mode Thanks! Actually, I really love it, very great bike, easy to handle :) I can only recommend. Thanks your idea! ;)
Great review ! What do you think about the leg room difference between R1 and R6
More legroom on the R1 and less aggressive reach to the clipons than R6
@@BrapModeOn Thank you!
Hello my man! Could you possibly make a review about the R1 2015+ or is there not really much of a big difference?
I believe theyve lowered the clipons and rearsets. So a tad more cramped, but I will try to get my hands on one!
Would love to see you review the new Apirilia RS660
Same! I unfortunately dont have a dealership nearby :(
tall legend
Have you ever rode a S1k ? I'm built Just like you and I've been stuck between an r1 and s1k
I am 6 foot 5 as well, and very slim. Would a Yamaha r125 fit me. Would it be comfortable and would it look good? I am 17 right now, and thinking about getting a license for 125cc bikes, but only if it would fit me.
Btw thanks for the video, you got my sub! :)
We dont have the R125 in the states but I would assume itll be a bit tight because of the fairings. Naked would fit better, giving more room with the legs.
Actually im 6.5 too and i had yamaha r125. Surprisingly it was very comfy for me.I had enough space for legs and arms. Now im riding suzuki gsr 750 becouse i couldnt fit any 600cc sport bike (r125 was bigger lol) ,and im thinking about rn22 because position looks very similar to r125. (sorry for mistakes im not native speaker).
I give your youtube a 10/10
Thank you!
Of all the super sport bikes you’ve ridden which was most comfortable for long rides? I’m 6’4” 240lbs with the same inseam and arms as you. Thanks!
Bmw s1000rr. I haven’t ridden the latest generation yet though.
@@BrapModeOn we need a review on that!
Good one :)
Thanks!
I'm 6'4 can I buy a Demon ? (and fit)?
Man thx for video. What you thing about first bike for 6,6 200cm man ?
Supermoto :)
@@BrapModeOn What about some sport bike Honda CBR 600rr ???
R6 over the CBR. Its too cramped. Youll have to get ne rearsets and add some padding in the seat
How tall are you?
I'm 6'4 and I'm debating to either get a r6 or r1
I am 6’5”
Humanity says thank you
I’m tall so good to know this information
This is a review for an R1 right and not an R6 ?!
Correct, R1!
I have heard that Kawasaki RX6R and RX10R are so very good options the seat is higher than other super sports with have very low seats like Suzuki gsxr with is good for short people . This Yamaha looks great nice review thanks bro
@@user-lq4tu4wo7f ZX’s???? Never heard of RX’s before...I mean unless you’re referring to medications 😂🤣😂
Do one for a gsxr750. PLEASE.
Hello just letting ya know im 6'4 weigh 220 pounds and own a 2018 Gsxr 750 and let me tell ya! Very comfortable for a sport bike that is. Hopefully this helps your decision!
I'm 5'4, is it to tall for me?
Sorry cant help there. You would probably be on your toes
Could you review the Kawasaki zx14r
Ive been waiting to ride that for a while. Its on my list to hunt down!
Brap Mode cool👍, can’t wait
What jacket size do you wear??
I wear a size large in the Klim jackets.
Brap Mode awesome thank you it’s so hard to find a reference! I’m 6’4’’ 215 lbs
I think this jacket will fit you better, its a little bit loose on me so with your weight it should be perfect!
