SV650S & tall people

[Road Rash]

I was just wondering how well taller folks fit on the SV650S. I am 6'1" & am starting to look at this bike. Are there any tall people that own, say a 2001 SV650S? Thanks!

I have a 03 SVs and it fits just fine.(6'2") I would think that the older gen would have about the same ergos.

I'm not that tall, but have a buddy who is 6' 4" and fits fine on an '01. If your knees don't fit in the tank cut-outs, try putting the pegs up and back another inch either with plates or aftermarket rearsets.

I'm 6'1" shes a 2001 and fits like a glove

I got a friend whos 6 2' and looking for a bike... probly 600 cc or around there... are there any bikes you would NOT suggest? - Or would most any bike do?

Well, I'm also 6'2 and while I fit on the bike, my knees don't fit in the tank cut outs. Of course, I've changed *a few* things on my 00 naked (drag bars and rear plates) that helped the ergos but my knees still don't fit in the cutouts. I have to ride with my crotch against the tank for the right position and only put my ass far back in the seat when I'm on the freeway. Maybe I have longer legs than the other folks on here (36" inseam).

con_man - your friend might have a better time fitting on some of the 600cc bikes out there. I fit on the new Daytona 600, Gixxer 600, Yam 600's, and like Kaws the best. I didn't/don't like the Honda ergo for me. Your friend has to sit on them to make sure... Good luck!

alright thanks i'll tell him. and yeah im sure he'll have to go somewhere (dealer maybe) and sit on different bikes before he chooses.

I'm 6'1". Have a 01' with a lowered seat and aftermarket(higher and furtherback) rearsets. Perfect fit for me.

I myself am 6'2, and I feel it is a good fit. My feet fit flat against the ground with little knee bend, so keeping it up when coming to a stop is no problem. Now this is my first bike, so I'm no expert, but it fits me just fine.
