Hey Yammie. Could you make a video on Honda 1050 CBX?
Great video! me likey a lot, Can you make video for the vertically challenged people?...I´m asking for a friend....
Andrew if you are seeing this please tell me the slip on you bought for g310gs, I am looking for slip on for it for sooooo long.
Any chance rokform will start making a set up for the Google pixel phones? I have a 3a and it seems like none of the motorcycle phone case companies make something for it. I'd really like to get a phone mount I can trust to not drop it.
I'm 6'4" and its easier to find a motorcycle that fits than to find pants. 😷🏍💨👍
I’m like 6’4 or 6’5. I’ve had the fear of looking like a bear on a tricycle
I'm 6'1 and 20y/o, I'm struggling to find bike that wont make me look like a giant on minibike, I have to buy 125cc cuz laws and stuff and motorcycle market isn't big in my country and most of 125cc's are small :/

@Michael Moretti bro I am almost 180 cm. So should I buy ninja 650 will it look good?? Roley brothee
I am 6.7 37” inseam and just took a giant leap for my first bike. Never rode anything other than a bicycle before.
Bought an Africa Twin 1100 DCT.
Was told it’s possibly the worst bike to learn on.
But…. I’m careful..practiced a lot…and… loving it!!!
The bike looks like it’s made for me.
How's it going
At 6'5" I greatly appreciate this video/topic, thank you.
There is also the other problem, riding gear. We already have a hard enough time finding normal clothes in our sizes, aka size 14 or 15 shoes, 38W38L pants, and XL Tall shirts/jackets. These so called "big and tall" stores are really just for big people, not tall, as their shirt sizes almost never include longer tall versions, just various width sizes including more letter X's than an adult film, and pants always stop at 34L but go up to 60Waist.
Dainese is selling one/two piece suits for extra tall riders, it sucks that we can't choose a color and are stuck with black&white but its still much better than riding with short sleeves. I bought one in berlin last year and i'm very happy with it (6'4), size 110
I’m 6’5 too and 14/15 shoes at 34w 36 length now looking at bikes more than likely will get the harley davison 2022 sportster s in few months
Buy gear that's a little too small and throw a hoodie over it.
how did you cover every stuggle ive had with clothes in one sentence
I absolutely love the content you create ,I just started getting into motorcycles after seeing my father ride for 3 years and I love every aspect of it. You guys make me feel so comfortable in any direction I choose, as a 6'5 rider it's difficult to figure out what works best for me, but with your videos and your help, I feel a tremendous weight lifted off my shoulders ever clip I watch, please please never stop making content. I hope you can aspire new riders like you did with me.
6'4'' here, ridin' SV650S 2nd gen. Looks and feels much bigger in full fairing than the naked version. Quick, loud, reliable. Do recommend :)
hey yammie. for the past 5 years i’ve been itching and waiting to get on a bike. i recently graduated and it was just the break i needed to start this hobby. i’ve been doing research, studying, youtube watching, reddit surfing. everything and anything under the sun the rossi put into the sky for us to learn as much as i can. as of today july 3rd i just got my motorcycle temps and most of your videos really pushed me over into getting to my first step to swing a leg. I’m about to start a full time job and save up for a bike for next riding season. thank you so much yammie!!
Hey mate.. just a friendly suggestion from my 20 years of ridding experience. Save for your safety gears first, and then for the motorcycle. Remember, safety of you and others first, and then the machine. Besides, when you wear all the gears, you get that extra confidance on the turns. All the best budd.
Finally! Bikes I fit on but still can't afford! I've been waiting for this
I’m 6’3” and just picked up my first bike it’s a Vulcan 900 custom. Have to say most comfortable bike I sat on and I sat on a bunch before I made a decision. When I got it on the road I knew I made a great decision bike is a dream.
I'm 6'3 230 lbs.... and yes I can fit on alot of bikes but comfortably riding is definitely not the same as just fitting. I really appreciate this.
He said on the video 6'3 guys fit on any bikes, lol, I don't know anything about this guy but he certainly isn't 6'3 or taller
@@unassailable6138well my wingspan is 6’8 so i may fit but my reach man 😂
Im just clicking knowing that this will be completly useless for me😂😑😅
Me 2...Fcking Europe bylaws..
I'm 6'5" and when I was trying them on at the dealerships I found the Versys, V-Strom, XSR700, and Z900RS very comfy, though some of those are a bit too much for a first bike IMO. In general, the ADV bikes and neo-retros seem good to go.
7:50 - I fully expected the V-strom 650. I just bought this as a 6'6'' Noob, and am in Heaven with it.
I'm guessing the BMW beat it out because of the price and, more importantly, the weight.
Having said that, I wouldn't give up my V-Strom 650 for the BMW
@@phoff5850 Yeah, I was betting on a V-Strom, Versys or maaaybe a Tenere. Not a fan of the GS, can't find a redeeming feature other than the brand appeal which is of no importance to me.
Dude I hope you didn't die and the Heaven is on Earth
@@phoff5850 Maybe it's not deemed as a starter bike
@@mercenex6329 i tried other more common tourer bikes (tenere , tracer , vstrom) and my dad's gs each bike feels different ofc but the gs really stands out the most bc of its additional coil in the front , it has that floating feeling i totaly understand why a lot of people buy it and it does totaly deserve the price , but ill stick to naked bikes , if id choose a more comfy bike , a sport tourer or maybe a gs who knows
Looking into getting my first bike when tax time gets here. I've watched a lot of your videos. They are very helpful. Thanks man!
Yesss, the video i've been waiting for
This is the Video I’ve been looking for the whole time!!
I’m 6’8” and I ride a ninja 650. Sat on the new ninja 1000 and it definitely fits me better. Even though I look like a grasshopper on the 650, I love it.
I’m finally getting ready to start my motorcycle journey this upcoming Saturday, thanks for all the great tips and info, time to start this new chapter ‼️
Safe riding!
6'3, got a 2019 CBR500R as my first bike, still think it was worth every penny!
finally the video i have been waiting for
Thank you for making this video- as a newbie it’s nice to see some non Harley recommendations for taller sudes
In regards to the g310 gs for tall riders: not recommended. Seat height is talked about a lot, and it's pretty much irrelevant as far as riding comfort is concerned. The GS has a very short seat to footpeg distance. Not sure why people get wrapped up in seat height measured from the ground.
I’m 6”5 and loved my 310gs
@@blakethebigfathamste buddy thinks we’re all fat😂😂😂 i loved my buddies gs it was so smooth
Indeed
Thankyou! 6’3 myself and this helped a ton
ty for this vid, im 6'5 and i have no experience and this vid has made my decision alot easier
I've been waiting for this video as a 6'6" noob
I’m 6’6” and had a 2004 r6 for about 7 years for my starter bike. Not the best idea but i was 22 and it was cheap. I was fairly comfortable on it but definitely couldn’t tuck into it without practically sitting on the rear seat.
I’m 6ft with a dodgy back and the bike I’ve been most comfortable on is the triumph street scrambler. I love it to bits. Also felt the mt09 2021 pretty comfy, Vespa gts300 was wonderful, also loved my tu250x but no abs is a dealbreaker for me as I’ve got older and wiser. Actually quite comfy on the Honda grom too owned one of them but outgrew it really quick. Honda make such comfy stuff. Had an mt07 and moto guzzi vii as well at one point but could never quite get comfy on them, not sure why!
The cbr500r is an awesome first bike. Super easy to ride and pretty comfy. I do 2hour stretches just fine. I do wish it had more umpf for passing though. Its plenty for the street but passing people youll notice its not suuuper fast :)
I'm 6'3 and the MT-07 is quite comfortable, just needs a comfort seat to actually make it better for longer rides.
I was thinking of getting at mt 09 but I've heard the 07 is where its it's at! And I'm 6'5!
I'm 6'4 and I've ridden MT07 in driving school. 45 minutes of riding every day, 2 hours of back pain every day. I don't know how is it comfortable for tall people.
I'm 6'5'' and had the the MT-07 in driving school as well. Same thing, 45 minutes of riding per session. But I never had back pain, even when my back hurt from other issues, I could still ride no problem. Maybe because I had only one riding session a week, so it stretched to about 15 weeks for the required 15 hours? And I made an effort to avoid bumps and potholes, or just stand up on the pegs for a second when the road got bumpy. Still, the bike was comfortable for me at least in those 45 minute rides.
I really want to get Kawasaki Ninja 650 as my first bike, but I am concerned that I'm too tall, or that my legs are too long. We'll see...
Mislim da ne trebam dodatno prevesti, hehe.
I needed this
just what i asked for. thanks for listening to your community
FINALLY! As a 6 foot 5 I've been needing this
Robby Lund same
6 foot 5 squad!
6’ 5-6” boi here, thankful for a video that caters to my kind 😌
Been watching a lot of your videos and learning a lot. had a bike in 2009 (2009 gsxr 1000) as first bike had it for 6 months. Before it was wrecked by a friend. haven’t had one sense. Looking at 2008 gsxr 600. Still riding when friends let me.
Thanks for the help brotha, I’m 6’5 and 230
I absolutely agree with the last one. I'm 6'3 and my first proper bike was a K2 GSX-R 1000 (yeah I was a squid extraordinaire), which I loved to bits, but it really isn't for longer legged dudes with short arms like me, which I traded for 2002 VFR with raisers, made the bike A LOT more comfortable, but I miss the old Gixer dearly, those 160hp are nothing to laugh about, when it's about 420lbs wet, Now I have 110 and, well, it's enough, but I sometimes find myself on the power limit of the bike, which is frankly annoying, the gixer had in my eyes UNLIMITED POWA!!!
I agree with number 1. I'm barely 5'8" and was fine on my first bike which was a suzuki S40 boulevard. It's a short/small bike stock made even shorter with the bobber mods. I reluctantly sold it to my buddy for his first street bike and he's like 6'2". I tried for weeks to convince him the bike was too small but the man loves it. Well... what he want... he get!
I really like the scout's looks and it does fit tall riders but I definitely feel even at only 6'3 I look a little ridiculous on it.
I really needed this thx, I'm tired of everyone just saying "get a mt 03"
I got my first biker wave today this feeling is incredible
Dude you’ll always have my thumbs up 👍
Awesome vids
How about a video on best jackets for tall riders? I'm 6 foot 3 and I can't find a leather jacket anywhere that fits me without being too baggy or short in the arms
I'm 6'4 and my first motorcycle was a 2010 Kawasaki Z750 full black, I loved it...
I loved to ride it for 30 to 45 minutes...
After that it was a nightmare, legs, arms, all the weight on the wrist...
If I had to start over toaday, I would start with an ADV!
I’m a beginner and I’m 5’9! Thanks for another great video🥳🥳🥳
I think this was the sign I have been waiting for
Hey ya, Papa Yam 'n Spiker!
For me (6"2'w/a 33" inseam), my '05 GSF1200s Suzuki Bandit fits fine. Part of my figuring out what scoot to get, after losing the ~400 lbs., was considering how a guy my size would fit.
My over 4 decade old knees would NEVER let themselves be hitched up far enough to get me on a sportbike. I couldn't even consider a bike with just a mildly aggressive seating position. It took over a year of research to find my "Ellie" & I am quite a happy dude.
Thank you so much! You guys must make more videos for tall guys
Well this is just waaay out of my reality, but nice vid mates, number one made me happy, thanks
The mighty KLR runs evertime and towers over cars because there can only be one king!
6’4 dude here with goofy long legs. Thanks for the advice
this vid helps so much
I bought Benelli trk 251 and It’s one of the best bikes for tall beginners. Super comfortable and light
Oh hell yes, I was looking at the Honda CBR500, and I love the look of the bike, and now you just made the selling point as I am very tall. Awesome dude
Did you buy it and how how comfortable was it?
6'8" the versys x300 is perfect. I don't think I'll ever get rid of her. 😊
That's what i have been looking at for my first bike. I'm 6'1", wanted a honda rebel first but found out it's really short. Is the versys a good starter bike? Or do you have other recommendations please?
Totally needed. I'm 6,3 and probably bought a starter bike that was too small. Could have done with this vid back then.
2002 SV650 and at 6ft1 and 250+ and I love it, will probably love her more once the rear sets that'll drop my mounts a little bit more show up
Finally a video for tall riders !!!!!
Let’s goo! I’m about to get my first bike and start moto videos!! Appreciate all the videos helping me a lot! Hit that link everybody cause I’m in!
I recently had my first riding class and the instructor sat me on a honda cb500f, and at 6'4 &220 I must say the bike felt comfy despite the compact look.
I'm 6'3 240# and my bike is really designed for someone maybe 5'8ish and 100# lighter, the seat is hollowed out for a shorter Rider to sit down low and I was always trying to scoot back, but it acted like a backrest making it impossible.. solution was to fill in the low area with additional foam and reupholster, now my seat is flattened out and I can scoot back as far as I like.. made all the difference and I can finally ride comfortably.
I’m a tall person 6’3” and 250lbs and I just got me a 2016 Suzuki GSX-S1000A in matte gray! Has 2800 miles and never been down nice headed and power commander on it! Aftermarket shorty levers you can shift with 2 fingers! Only thing I want is rear sets so I can move the footpeg down and forward a little! Then it would be perfect I got the rest adjusted to my Er go’s!
This is an old video but as new rider and being 6’2 I started on my BMW F700 GS and it’s perfect for me height and power wise. It’s quick enough to get down the road but I don’t feel overwhelmed and it’s not too high or too short for me.
7:33 "it's a little on the pricey side"

He's an airline pilot. Loadsamoney and several bikes.
Well until the lockdown and pilots losing their jobs 😊
@@guyedwards6696 not all pilots are rich, not until they starting working for a major carrier, but I guess once you have a panigale everything else seems reasonable
I'm 6'2", but a 35" inseam. You'd be surprised at how many beginner bikes that locks me out of. At least a Rebel 300 worked (for the MSF course).
Edit: My knees just barely hit the handlebars on a CBR500. 2 inch bar risers would fix this though.
Edit2: Number 1, my bike, an 80s Honda Magna V4 with ~80hp. As Spite said, on the bleeding edge of what's okay, but it's what I have. It's the VFR that I couldn't get.
6'7 here I've owned everything from a grom and ruckus up to f6b goldwing... Right now a grom is my daily commuter but I'm looking at an African twin or nc750x for more comfort and longer rides.
I‘m 6.4 and im very happy with my Svartpilen 401 very cool bike for smal money.
Finally the CBR500R gets feature on a YammieNoob video. Thanks Uncle Spite 😀
I know, such a pretty bike.
I would love to see my bike get some love, it seems ever forgotten, the First Gen Yamaha FZ1, while obviously not a beginner bike, is the ultimate sleeper, it has the First Gen R1 motor, carbs all the way, it is also an upright naked/sport touring/street fighter/highway cruiser/commuter, all that with a factory rated 2.7 second 0-60 (quicker than the First Gen R1) and best of all, it gets cheap insurance rates (I pay $30/month at 23 with a year and a half riding experience). No one gives it the credit it deserves outside of the owners club forum.
I'm 6'2" at 235 I ride a v star 650. And love it it's very comfortable for my size
Is that a good beginner first bike? I'm searching. I'm 6'1" and was looking at the vulcan s or versys 300. What do you recommend please? I need advice I've been researching forever lol
Thanks for mentioning the 500 i feel like the honda 500s are super slept on
1:23 "and they fit pretty much every phone you can get"
People who don't have a Samsung or IPhone: Am I a joke to you?
Fr
I got a nokia :(
Being only 5'7 this isn't relevant to me, but still informative. Could you do a sequel for us smol bois?
Thank you alot man
I'm 6'4'', really needed this! Thanks Spite!
What have you been looking at? I’m 6’4 as well, 210. Trying to find a bike that fit was the hardest battle.. all the ones I wanted were designed for normal sized people lol.
Same!
My preference is Honda. Cbr500, cbr650 or cb650r. All of them look absolutely beautiful, it is just a matter of me going to a place where I can try all of the above.
Same height but i can only get a 125CC rn 🙃 UK FFS
Croatia has the same thing, don't worry, the time will come
Great video! Saludos.
Nice video, I'm 6,5 so very helpful!!
At 6'4" and 35" inseam, this is the video I've been waiting for somebody to do. I think the xsr700 will be my 2nd bike as I do like the ergos and power to weight ratio and my vstrom 650 is just a bit big and heavy for my liking now.
broo you really need to make your giveaways avaliable to europeans! hahah I just got my drivers license, but i am stuck to an A2 license for the next 2 years
6'3....260lbs at the time I bought my Kawasaki versys 650 abs. Same engine as the Ninja 650 and the Vulcan S... No regrets. Suggest sitting on a Honda nc750x and or a Yamaha tracer 900 as well.
I'm 6'5", and the BMW F650/800GS is great.
WR250R for is one of the best dual sports for tall people. I'm 6'3, 175lbs and it still feels tall.
Hey Yammie .... Great fan from India... Recently I crashed on my bike while riding with a group. Give tips on how to ride along them as I am new to a group riding and couldn't keep with them even though I have an riding experience of 6 years...
Do make a video on this!!!!!
Went to a dealership for a MT07, and after talking to the salesman he ended up having me sit on as a MT03. At 6’2 I felt like like a clown on a bike with my knees nearly hitting the undersides of the handlebar. Ended up buying a used FZ6R and love it to death, as you said the best bike is your bike
As far as 300cc bikes goes, for taller riders: CBR300R is the only realistic option.
I wanted a bike once.. I'm in the south and figured ill get a bike.... Until I went for a ride in the sun.... Hot... too hot for me to handle.. so I got the Challenger instead.. now I live vicariously through you
I remember dreaming of a cruiser bike until I found out that sport bikes are actually pretty damn comfortable for me to sit in (Im 6'3) but the main question for me would be: Since most sport bikes are the most comfortable to ride on high speeds, what is the best sport bike for a beginner that would be exceptionally comfortable to ride on low speeds as well? That would be easy to turn and hard to drop.
I wanted a b-king... now i'm gonna buy an s1000r... almost finished getting my driver's license. I did think i was too big for a smaller displacement bike, but i am learning on a kawi er6n, and i am having a blast. 11 more hours, and it's a naked bmw for me.
I'm 6'4" and 286lbs and just bought a triumph tiger 1200xrt as my first bike.
Good timing. You guys are even giving away a Svartpilen 401 - the bike I'm looking to buy! Thanks!
Dude thanks so much I’m 6,2 this helped a lot
6ft/183cm here, started on a ZX6R.
Best decision ever.
hears "Bear on a tricycle" ~ *looks around with a guilty smirk
I am 6'2 140 Kg, had an Indian Scout (not the sixty). Loved the bike so much took it every where I went until I decided to go for a long ride. Got on it 10 pm one night and just rode in to the night. Got to a mates place 7 hrs away and rested for a solid 3 hours and jumped back on it and rode back home. But the issue was, that 7 hour ride became a 10 hour one, as I had to get off stretch out every 20 - 30 minutes. So sold it and got a C90T, I can do 200 to 220 kms in one stretch ( that s when I need to refill) speed limit is 100 KPH. Also own a CBR 1000rr and a 675 daytona LE, Bear on a tricycle feeling on the The Triumph.
Hey I am 188cm/140kg, considering first bike. I am getting advised with litre CBR a lot, and i like the looks of it, but its a bit over my budget. Would you advise it too?
22 5'11 still an Asian beginner rider and having financial troubles to buy my own first motorcycle...still saving up but really hard cause of the pandemic😥.
It's getting more and more expensive to comute and i really need a bike to get to work and back😔
But it's nice to see your vids every day cause it helps me decide on what bikes to choose and what to do, adapt and learn to ride safely and have a fun ride in general.
Thank you so much for your vids 😊
More love from the riders in philippines beginer and experts 😁😎
What kind of bike are you looking for? I can recommend you a cheap one if you want.
Ayo I turned on captions and it’s so funny😂☠️
Great video! Could you do one with non beginner bikes?
I'm 6'2 and I got no bike lol. Here in Philippines we got small bikes I wish I could afford one. Thanks spite for the video I'm a new subscriber. God bless everyone. Stay safe. Merry Christmas and happy new year.🥳🙏
