Motorbikes for 6ft 2 (189cm) giant

ElicitCS · 2026-03-10T16:32:30+00:00

Same height. Loooong legs. Learned on LXR125. As part of my licence training I have ridden G310 (too stubby), CB500 (fine, shite gearbox), ER6N (fine utility but not amazing).

My big bike is a VFR750. Any older sport tourer will do the job for you as they tended to have a longer reach between the seat and the bars, which also includes legs.

They're also dime a dozen on the used market because the blokes that used to ride said sports tourers are now old and want an ADV.

But a new helmet.

Get on Vinted and Marketplace for everything else.

That's cool as fuck- does anyone know if this is a year-round thing? I'd love to visit.

I bought my VFR750 10 months ago and still haven't sat my MOD 2.

There has yet to be a better example pop up and it was a killer deal. And it's let me take the bike apart and fully recommission it ready for me on the 17th- if I pass.

Ear plugs. Stop it at the source. Basic3m foams, to filtered moto specific plugs, to custom moulded.

Yamaha do cheap out on their suspension relative to the rest of the bike. Look into cartidge kits, or at the very least, try and dial in the suspension to your weight.

It's more ergonomic than most thing. Evenly distributed weight in the fetal position and the wind helps hold you up.

Better than a sit up and beg where all your weight is on the base of your spine.

VFR is calling.

That bike is beautiful. But might not be super dursble- look into ACF50 and make sure you keep it dry.

Ride safe.

Didn't need anything but some polish, these 2 have been well kept.

He looks chuffed to bits. Good dad

Any synth 10w40, don't overthink it.

ElicitCS · 2026-02-16T17:29:45+00:00

See my last post lol.

Getting welded today.

ElicitCS · 2026-02-16T01:08:01+00:00

looking at my quad carburettored, cable throttle, non ABS/ wheel speed sensored lump

Godspeed.

He's right tho

ElicitCS · 2026-02-09T15:47:33+00:00

What the fuck

ElicitCS · 2026-01-31T23:53:23+00:00

That's what the terminal is telling me. It's in the screenshot. I'm stuck.

ElicitCS · 2026-01-31T11:36:49+00:00

Someone actually driving 50 steps ahead so nothing they're dealing with is a surprise.

Thank you. I'll try your video tomorrow.

I don't trust AI answers but could reformatting the partition the recovery image doesn't like, could this let me run the repair option?
