I have been researching a bike for a while and have narrowed it down to 3-4 choices. The ninja 500 is one of these. I need your opinions though. Am I too tall for this bike?
I'm 6' 10"

You probably are too tall for the 500. I am 5'3" and I am almost flat footing it.

umm yeah bro....you might wanna go for the 600. You are a big man! I thought I was doing good at 6' for a chick! DAYUM!

 

I'm 5'10" and I can touch flat foot on the ground. I'd definitely look at the 650R or one of the 600 class bikes as the seat heights are going to be bigger and and more comfortable for your legs, but maybe not more comfortable for your butt. The 500R is a damn good bike, but 6'10"... I'd be looking at a 600 or a cruiser/chopper -=) -- or maybe even the NBA. Let us know what you come up with.

 

First join the NBA, make millions, then have someone build you a custom 500! Because you'll definitely want a 500cc motorcycle once you're a millionaire. lol

 

hahahaha, daum 6'10", that is pretty langley for sure. I did not see a weight though.
The 500 is a nice toy as are the other rides available. Looks like you are going to have an issue with any rides out there. Sit on them and see what makes more sense to you concerning the comfort level. Sorry man, but I am a dwarf in comparison. Try them out.

 

LMAO a dwarf

but picture a dude towering at 6'10" rolling down the freeway on a 250, be like big bird on a tricycle [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

No offense to you cooper but IMO the larger 500 would be better for ya!

 

I'm 5'4" and I can flat foot on the 500........you may want to go sit on a few and try them out for comfort.

 

damn thats tall. I have 2 bikes, a 500R and a ZZR600. I feel big on both of those, and Im only 6' 235 lbs! Better go for something much bigger.
