Pretty much anything that forces my knees past 90 degrees is out of the question. Yeah, it's tough being tall when you're a motorcycle nut. :lol:1Adam12 said:
I was 6'5". I've settled into about 6'4" now. At 18, I lost a knee in a football game. At 21, I lost the other knee to a dirtbike...
I rode a GSXR 1100 for a long time. It got more and more uncomfortable, until one day...
...I had been riding for about an hour without stopping. I was approaching a stoplight, tried to lower my feet, and both knees locked!
I was either going to have to run the light or drop the bike. Fortunately, the light changed just in time. I traded it about a week later.
Actually, sportbikes didn't ruin my knees- a dirtbike did. Or, more accurately, the ground. The bike and I hit separately...Stuart said:well, i'm 6'4" and 290 so think linebacker, i'm looking for my first sportbike so that I can ruin my knees as well

Also, I think age has a bit to do with it...

Nice looking bike. The GPz line still looks great. I am rebuilding an'84 GPz750 and it is a labour of love.
Hate to burst your bubble Stu.... more like a lineman at that size, but if you could run the 40 in 4.5 - 4.7 speed that could be scarry. I had a guy on my team that went to Syracuse and was 6' 2" and 335 - he ran a verified 4.5 40 and was scarry when he hit people.Stuart said:well, i'm 6'4" and 290 so think linebacker, i'm looking for my first sportbike so that I can ruin my knees as well
