................. about travelmoto ............
I am a motorcycle enthusiastic... I love making videos with motorcycles... and some how I travel a lot... and this is how travel moto exists.
I want to let you guys know that I am not the best rider ever who speaks good English and knows much about details of the bikes... I just love what I am doing.
if you have knowledge about motorbikes you can be part of the videos by leaving your comments. (I read them all and visit your channels).
I travel the world for motorcycle shows, enduro, off-road, trial, superSport etc...
....... For my videos I use .....
3 Motorcycles
Honda XR125L (enduro and travel)
Peugeot Vogue 103 moped
Peugeot 103 sp mobylette
2 Cameras
. Sony AX33 PJ620 (mainly for motorcycle reviews)
. Sony Action (mainly for enduro) - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I think you are 6'2 and 190cm tall
I'm 6'5 and I just bought a Honda s wing 125 and I love it. I finally feel normal and comfortable.
Thank you so much! not much info for tall people out there!
Really helpful to understand the important aspect of choosing the scooter.
Advice: Enter the names of the manufacturers and models of the respective scooters being displayed, as well as additional information, such as the cylinder capacity of each one. This makes viewing the video more interesting
also include rim/tire/wheel size. 16- or 17-inch wheels are preferred. I don't even consider scooters with rim sizes under 15 inches, eg Piaggio BV 350, Honda ADV-X with 14-inch rear wheel.
Thanks for this video. It helped me to answer a lot of questions since I am a very tall guy who wants a scooter. There are really only two scooters out there for tall people. The Suzuki Burgman and the BMW 650.
Susuki burgman is a GT scooter , well .. expensive.
If you are looking for less expensive scooter, the honda forza is quite good for tall people.
Good vidéo
Love them all. Thinking of buying one
An exellent axplanatory video for long sizes. Thankyou
Last year I bought xmax 250 and sold it after 1 week due to my 1.70 height. Its too high for me to manage properly/control. So, now, I’m happy with my burgman 200 with 74cm.seat lenght☺️
Great video, Thank you for making this video 🙏
So helpful, thanks brother for such detailed information
Thanks for this video, so you liked the seating on the burgman 400 better than on the Tmax 530Dx. Have you tried the xmax400 ? I think it was the xmax300 in your video.
This was extremely useful and validates my choice for a BMW C650 GT. I think you gave it a thumbs up - I took a punt hat the Germans would design it for larger people and for a pinion passenger. I pick mine up this week.
maintenance and service costs are ridiculous for the BMW, go with the burgman 650 Executive !
The Bergman would fit but what a truck!!
6footer here. Thanks for the video pal
Some of the bigger scooters that have decent leg room have handle bars that come too far back and make you lean backwards. The Honda Forza is an example of that. That would kill my back on a long ride.
If you make another one of these it would be a good idea to mention how tall you are.
Literally ever scooter he sits on states his size...
@@NoddyD what if I want to know in between when he sits on the scooters?
🤣🤣🤣
@@NoddyD he's being sarcastic ffs
Nice Video thank u very much
Have you ever sat on a keeway zahara ? If so, how did you feel, is it confortable for tall people ? Congrats for the videos
Interesting, thanks.
I didn't think you were going to try the small scooters, around 50~150cc.
You didn't give a label for the Yamaha T-Max 530DX at 9:43
Looks like you enjoyed yourself there.
Out of all the 50cc you tried which ones would you recommend for a 192cm guy for city riding?
TANKS! PERFECT
in the list there was BMW C400x and if you know is C400GT more comfortable for tall people?
Love the video my friend, especially how you went from least to best ergonomic 👍👍
The looking nice I like them a lot
I like the Peugeot the best!
I own a honda pcx150 2018 scooter and love it Im 5" 11 and it fits me just right. I would recommend only buying a Japanese scooter over most other bc there very dependable and very easy to fix.
They are good from any country now. Even the better Chinese scooters are fine. I've had Chinese, Taiwanese, Italian, Japanese...all good
I'm getting a scooter in May of 2022 which is next month. I am 6' tall and I don't want to feel like I am on a child's bike or scooter! It seems we can buy a seat that is flat all the way back and so we can scoot our butt back further to stretch our legs out more. I also would try to install some sort of foot pegs out front as far as possible to get my feet out front more.
How was the vespa? The shoot angle was not good so I wasn't able to really see how it looked... Would you say for someone of 1.82 mts will be good? I love that style
did you buy vespa ?
The driver's butt rest on the burgman is removable. Without it, you can stretch out and have a super comfortable ride.
Thanks for this material. So Honda Forza ofers more space for legs than X-max?
I'm 6' tall (with a 34-35 inseam) and Honda Forzas are VERY cramped. Not for anyone over 5'10".
it would help if you put the name and model of the motorcycles. you only did on some. specially the last 3 one.
Nothing beats the Suzuki Burgman 650.
So you'd be better off having nothing instead of a Burgman? 🤔
i just bought a yamaha zuma 125 mainly as no seat saddle that traps riders in one place.
Could you tell me what your inseam is? Thanks.
I’m 190cm, and I used to ride a Yamaha Cygnus 125
Thx bro🔥
Looked like the last one fit you best. I’m 6 foot even. One of the bmw looked pretty good too. But I liked the Burgman.😉
What was the last bike called? I am 6'11 that big fits perfectly
Did they give you a special pass to sit on the bikes? last time I was at a bike show you couldn't even SEE the bikes (soo many people) , never mind get near one!
Is this Scandinavian camp? It is making me a little giggly.
I think start from Peugeot Djanggo or Burgmann 200/electric you look fit, but just you, not included your backpack.
you seem to fit well on number 6, which model of yamaha is it? xmax? tmax?
Yamaha Tmax 530cc
@@kelechieze7885 thank you, I know now 😁, but at the time I didnt. Best is, it says tmax on the side 😱
I'm 6'2 also. So which scooter is best for tall people, I basically want something that I'm not dwarfing and making it look like I've stolen a kids bike!
Burgman 650
Try yamaha tricity 155
Try Vespa
Try Piaggio X10
@@hanzoking5703 you a giraffe...get a truck
All the way to the end and you don't name the number one scooter. Strong werk
YEah please do mention what your height is when making these videos - My guess is you are 190 cm i.e. 6 ft 2 inches tall
This was 2018.
Interesting how many folks had masks on and how socially considerate Asian people are.
This isn’t a current situation. I lived in Japan in the ‘60’s and many people wore masks even then.
Nice video!
Yes masks were dumb then and really dumb now they do absolutely nothing!!
If they could just extend the flat part by 10 inches so our feet weren't forced up, itd be really nice.
I am sure you can get a seat that is flat the whole way back....I know for sure you can get one for the Honda PCX....
Kympi gp suits on you.. I'm 6.1 tall.
I have a question... how tall are you?
Good👍👍👍 R's
I am also 6' 2" and (for those who don't want to buy a brand new scooter) I ride a Honda Silverwing 600 which I prefer to any in your video.
I'm 6'5 and I bought an s wing this week and I love it. Finally feel normal haha
Funny.....because I am sure you have not road or sat on any scooters from this video!
I'd fit like a glove
I'm 1,93m, and as thin as you are. Do you think I will be fine on a Honda Forza?
I ended up having naked motorcycle kawasaki er 500 and feets me better than any scooter I sat there. I didn't like the seating in the Forza. Burgman is much better in my opinion
In other words I will probably not buy a scooter ever
.Lincoln cv
VESPA
Yamaha Nmax 155 for me
To be honest i seen none for tall they all look so funny when a tall man sits on it! I would like to.see a scooter with more height
I want one that performs well with a heavy user of 160 kg/350 pounds/25 stone + DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY?
Honda Silver Wing FSC600D is a great bike. And servicing one won’t leave you a pauper.
Kymco xciting 300 . Year 2012. 👍
I'm 6' tall and have a long inseam. I've found the Piaggio BV series to be the best scooter for tall people. Burgmans are terrible if you're tall. Vespa GTS 250/300 are pretty good but not as good as Piaggio. I used to own a SYM HD 200 and that's good for tall people. Most scooters are way too cramped and you will feel it on a longer ride. :(
You may be right on some points here....but I am sure there are aftermarket seats that are flat all the way back and so you can scoot your butt back further to get your feet out front of you much more and not feel like you are on a child's bike.....this is 2022 and so I am not going to comment on the BMW scooter that people here seem to choose over the rest.....but it seems that Kymco makes the BMW scooter and it is more expensive with the BMW name on it....like $2000 more!.....I'm looking at either a SYM or Kymco scooter and I am 6' tall....if I don't like how it feels for my legs I will add a seat that helps with that.
Please new video for 2023
How tall are you?
Kymco AK550
Im 200 cm tallest, what kind of scooter can i ride? 😅
125 cc
Considering your height, I am surprised you were including any scooter smaller than 250 or 300 cc. The video would have been more meaningful if you had started with the largest ones and worked toward the smaller ones. Once you reached those too small, there was no reason to continue.
By the way, which ones did you prefer?
Useless video if no comments of which one fitted you better, I am 6´2" and the Vespa 300 is very comfortable for tall riders in a compact package, Nmax is roomy as well , BMW 650 GT (Not Sport) and 2017+ Tmax (Not prior models that have a low handlebar ) are the most comfortable but too big for commuting unless you do a lot of highway.
He showed the scooters in order from least comfortable to most comfortable for him. I'm a little bit taller, 6'5" (197 cm) so I would be most interested in the cycles shown last. YMMV
I found this video interesting and useful. Thumbs UP.
Εύγε αδερφέ
I don't even know who makes half of these scooters!
Ellinas ise ?
Problem is this maxi scooters r not allowed in India 😒😢 n if it comes it's highly priced m 6.1 n also waiting for these
Just get a F77 from Ultraviolette Automotive! It will be the BIKE of the Century! And hopefully they will build and sell a scooter and also a cruiser bike, fully electric and FAST!
Xmax300 s good for tall peeps.. better than tmax550
We get it, you're 190cm, 6'2....sheesh!
So what’s the best one
As he said, the least suitable bikes were first and the most suitable were last, so bike number one is most suitable. That's a 2018 Suzuki Burgman 650 LX (here in Japan it is called a Skywave).
I like It. But you forget your arms, only Look your legs.
But you didn't name litterally all of the ones I thought looked cooler than the average scooter. Including your number 1.
Correct, also I stood next to that guy he is only 6'1
Where's your opinion?
Ok Ok, yes I get it, you're 190cm's how many times do you need to tell us for god's sake.
u dont know whats the point here.
Music Matt 76 facts I think he's lost
Yamaha tricity looks good can't find it in US
are you still 6ft 2" lol😀
I am still 6,2ft but my weight is different now. I am wondering why this happen
Man I know your height. You are 6.2 feet. 😛😛
Hallo 16/17 jarige Nederlanders👋
190 is 6.3
Same height LoL 😂
Travelmoto most of the scooters you try are not the problem, you are the problem. The distance between your knee and heel is very tall. Every time you sit on a scooter your knees sit higher than your butt, that forces your body into a backward tilt position. To resolve that problem you need to get a cushion that is at least 2" tall, that will fix your posture and force it into a forward lean.
You are welcome!
6’2” is not tall ...Just above average.. I’m 6’9” and over 22 stone .. Find a scooter for me lol
6,9ft....!!!! you make as all look small
Sym ???!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was not allowed to seat
Get rid off the backpack
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 greeting from Malaysia sir! im 6' 2" also 😂😅 its looks like a giraffe on a deer sir....sorry to be frank
Crap camera work and get rid of the backpack.
Well, you just wasted time trying out ANYTHING 150cc/250cc and down. You're too big, and knew you were going to be too big!! You also forgot to put the make, type, and CC size on a few of them.
How tall are you ?
Too funny.
