Hi guys
I have a question I cannot find an answer to
I am currently shopping around now for a new dirt bike (motox) I'm finding it hard tho being 195cm tall I cannot find a bike to suit the only thing I got going for me is the new Kawasaki 450 have adjustable pegs and handle bars but I I don't want to purchase it just on those basis is it possible to purchase a bike and set it up for a tall rider
Are the parts and mods you can do to a bike to cater for a tall rider the bike is not for professional racing just general bush bashing if there is parts
If so will the parts make a significant difference or do I have to go with a Kawasaki
Please help

wats that like 6'3?? 6'4?? any modern 450-250 bike would do. get sum tall risers and bars and tall seat foam. u should b good.
There r sum tall dudes on this forum, Im sure they will chime in.
herby ur useless. MAPLE 2010
Suzukidude, shut up. CS 2010
Yeah der, errone be using no seize CRWOODS 2013
So forward thinking everything else seems SDRAWKCAB. -
Pretty sure that's about 6, 5" or 6,6", give or take. Either way pretty tall.
I agree about the handlebar risers and the tall seat, they would be the best bang for your buck as far as mods go.
For what its worth, I'm about 6,2" and I love the tall bars I put on my RMZ.
The KX would be as good as anything else out there, I wouldn't be afraid to go with one of those, if that's what suits your needs best.

Pretty much any name brand bike can be tailored to your liking as far as making the bike feel more open to your hieght. I am 6'3 at the moment and I have the yamaha YZ450F it has the tallest seat hieght as far as the new bikes go, pretty sure its 39.5in seat hieght. the bars stock are adjustable with the stock clamp as far as rolling the bars forward or reverse and it has two different sets of holes drilled to go formard more as well. I run pro taper CR high bend bars and I can stand up totally comfortable on it. It just doesnt have the peg adjustment. Your best bet would be to go to a dealer and go sit on some bikes to see what works for you, ya know?--------------------

Hi guys thanks heaps for that
Yeah 195cm is 6.3 I'll try sit on afew different bikes and go from there I like the idea of adjustable pegs tho (Kx450)
Because even having tall bars it's doesn't eliminate yours legs being cramped up and your knees high I think just that little adjustment works well

My son is 6'-4" and rides a 250F. You can set them up for yourself.
