I dont have any side shots at the moment but my knees are up there!

Thank you! And don't think that the cool effect of going with B&W photos is lost on us...very nice choice.

I'm 5'8" @ 200 lbs & feel like I'm on a huge moped with my 440. Inseam at 31". Feel like the bike is a little small for me, but I can't beat the price for now. My first bike was a 84 Shadow 750, 20 years ago.
1000cc to 1100 cc is more in my range, but will wait on that.

could you use one for a pre-08 ninja 250?

Hell yah! A 250 would be really good because so many new potential riders have no idea how they would measure up to a 250 if that's going to be their first bike. Please post!

alright, i may not be able to get it in tonight but should be able to tomorrow. i'll just copy the same poses eveyone else did then!

TO ALL>>>> This is a great thread...

the z1000 guys especially this really helps me see how the rider sits on these type bikes.

They look quite comfy compared to the GSX-R 750 that I have ridden once (that was quick but very un-comfy)

the trick for me now is to save up the money

thanks - great thread... I can do the same thing of my drifter, just got to find the time, im short and overweight according to national average 5'6" and 210

seeing as i have no idea on what an inseam is, i can't supply that info till i find it out. but i got some pics and have my ht/weight

height : 5'11.5"

weight : 183 lb

bike : 2004 ninja 250r

standing straight up, i have about 1" before the crotch of my jeans hit the seat. but that depends on the jeans. the bike is not on the kickstand.

standing next to the bike. the bike is on the kickstand.

my riding position atleast. the kickstand is down.

hope this helped! if any new pics or more are needed just ask
