Hello tall guys,
which models and/or aftermarket folks have you used to better fit you?
I've got a 36" inseam on 6'5" frame, would like a newer 1200, but I see the seat height is only 33.5". Is this a doable and comfortable transition or should I just stick with my 950 Adventure? |

I'm only 6' with 32" inseam, but is very comfortable to me. I cannot see any bike being more comfortable for taller riders. Best to take a test ride. |

I'm 6'3" with a 34 inch inseam, it's perfect! |

Mike, have you tried the first generation Multi's?
The 1200 seems cramped to me by comparison. |

I'm 6'4 with 33 inseam and my 06 MS fits me great, which is one of the many things i like about it.
If you can, keep the Ktm for dirt work -- an awesome bike -- and get a first generation MS for pure street work! |

Im 6'5" and have an 04. Fits me great and had to get a new windscreen. I have seen those footpegs that give the rider and additional 2" but my legs seem fine.
I will say that I do make the bike look small. You can see that on my videos. I have posted a few videos of me riding it on here and youtube. |
