jonmc7583 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 My overthinking is getting the best of me. My bike won't be here til a week from tomorrow and I am starting to second guess myself. I am 6'2.5" with a 33" inseam and am just wondering how big I'm going to feel on the bike? Or cramped? I've ridden the 07, but not longer than 10 minutes or so... That being said, how tall are you? And how does the 07 fit ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missourifz07 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 6"3' and I feel really comfortable. It's my first bike so I don't have much to compare it to but I don't feel cramped at all. If I did anything I may think about some different bars bent a little further forward, I don't think I will though. I feel like the bike fits me like a glove. Just my opinion : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted August 9, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2014 I am 6'1", but have a 34" inseam. I fit fine, but I would not want much less pedal height. I would think you have another inch of room over me with a 33" inseam. I would not be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator Guru Posted August 9, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2014 In the morning I'm 5'8". I should take a closer look at my inseam, but the bike fits me like a glove. At night I'm 5'7". I suspect my inseam is decreased by 1/2" . The bike still fits me good, I do not miss my inch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmucat Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm about the Sam as GURU and the bike is finer for me, day or night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trace20012 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm only 5'5" and can barley get the balls both feet to touch. Not a probably on straight level roads but not the best for hilly uneven roads. Thinking of getting a lowering kit but for now I set the suspension to 1. First bike so hoping I can get used to it without lowering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted August 9, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 9, 2014 I could put both feet flat on the ground but I never do. I am used to higher bikes and I always have one foot near the brake when I'm not moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted August 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm 5' 5 1/2" and the boots I wear might give me another inch. I can almost flat foot it, not quite. I am used to cruisers so it still seems tall to me. It isn't heavy at all and the fit is great. Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qjohnson Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm 5'11". Usually range between 150 and 158lbs. I have a super fast metabolism so I eat like a fat man and don't gain any weight haha. But I think I'll fit perfect on this bike:) my old bike (wr250x) I used to put my right foot on the ground and the left foot on the peg. I wasn't even close to flat footing that thing lol. I still have yet to sit on a fz07. I bought it kind of blind ( only seen pics and videos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have yet to sit on a fz07. I bought it kind of blind ( only seen pics and videos). I was coming from a wr250x and bought it unseen too. I first sat on the bike during delivery. I was pleasantly surprised that it still had the same feel, but just was better in every way. I felt right at home and rode of as if it was specially made for me.

cassecou Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Don't worry too much. It's very easy and very common to have one foot on the ground and the other on the foot peg, keeping the bike in a slight angle. Once you start rolling, surprisingly, everything becomes irrelevant.

scobiwonkenobi Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 at 5'11" around 160 I like that at lights both feet are on the ground very comfortably but while riding it feels like my knees are too high on the bike and as a result the spot where I 'hug' the bike with my thighs always feels off. Not a huge factor except on longer rides. Definitely considering getting lower pegs.

Premium Member hobbs Posted January 9, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted January 9, 2015 5'7", 150 lbs. Although I'm steadily gaining weight at a slow rate (powerlifting), that doesn't help me reach things on the top shelf. I have no problem with one, or both feet on the ground. I will be satisfied when I can deadlift and/or squat the weight of our motorcycle. At least until I set a new goal and personal record. Everything went braap.
