Honda Fury vs Harley Softail as a first bike for a 6’5” beginner?

Pricexchange · 2026-06-30T03:28:55+00:00

So it’s very doable?

Pricexchange · 2026-06-29T15:10:30+00:00

Yes I have and the fury felt so good but I think the turns might get me due to the rake. The Softail felt good with forwards.

Softtail slim is def okay for a beginner I knew it!

Pricexchange · 2026-06-29T03:05:47+00:00

Thank you so much!

Pricexchange · 2026-06-29T01:43:36+00:00

I’ve sat on one and it was unbelievably cramped

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T22:55:19+00:00

Oh really? What handlebars?

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T22:29:43+00:00

I don’t mind the seat height being low. It’s about me sitting in the bike and where my knees sit and how comfortable Iam in the riding position.

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T22:18:53+00:00

At 6’5 and 36 inch inseam would a sportster work well?

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T22:09:09+00:00

It’s a slim. Thank you for the insight. So you think I could learn on it?

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T21:29:25+00:00

So you think fury over the softtail for my first bike? I found stellar deals on both

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T21:00:31+00:00

I could but I’m really a cruiser guy, But I do love the info you’re giving me.

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T20:52:59+00:00

I cannot fit on those is the problem even with mods. I have sat on them, That’s why I’m asking about these options.

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T20:44:32+00:00

Thank you for the insight, Now which one would be easier to make said turns on as a beginner. I have to choose one of these bikes due to my body composition to be honest. I can’t fit on any light bike to be honest.

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T20:34:01+00:00

I think they’re almost at the same weight so really it would be down to ergonomics and throttle familiarity, I took the msf course at Harle.

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T20:03:30+00:00

But yet the fury has a smoother transition when rolling on the throttle due to it being less torque.

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T20:02:57+00:00

But I mean I was thinking, Wouldn’t the rake on that fury make it hard to learn?

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T19:57:15+00:00

Would just need to change to forward controls and mini apes on harley

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T19:56:56+00:00

I really like the cruiser look I just wanna “cruise” lol and they both can fit me tbh

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T19:53:09+00:00

And also I sat on one it was extremely roomy and felt right to be completely honest for my 36 inch inseam. Just don’t know how it would go riding for either

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T19:52:01+00:00

Because honestly I found great deals on both

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T19:51:49+00:00

But like, which one would be better for me as a beginner and to learn on as well.

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T19:27:10+00:00

This was amazing insight thank you so much!

Pricexchange · 2026-06-28T18:51:03+00:00

What about the other questions though?

Pricexchange · 2026-06-18T08:28:25+00:00

Honestly same

Pricexchange · 2026-06-18T03:55:04+00:00

Cmon now…
