| hi
Im 6ft 6 and 17.5 stone with 34 leg and love the bike..
no issues what so ever
you had the "it's not for me" comments as think they did not really want one..
Buy it, you'll love it...
(you can get Busa peg which lower the pegs bu an inch giving more knee room if you think you would like a bit more room but i have no issues with mine)

| Hi BTD,
I'm a 5'11" wimp, so can't comment on B-kings for giants. However, if you haven't visited the thread "first ever UK B-king rally" please do so. The more the merrier at our meet in April the better. Welcome to the awesome world of B-king riding. You will definitely have no regrets on getting the beast. |
