Ashb Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hi, I'm looking to buy by first bike, I want a cruiser but I'm 6ft 2 and I'm not sure what cruiser is appropriate for my height, obviously I can only get a 125cc untill I get my bigger licence. Any recommendations on big 125 cruisers? I was looking at a Honda shadow 125 do you think this will be big enough for me! Any advice would be appreciated as Im new to the bike world. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I would consider a trail bike, they are usually taller than normal road bikes and better for "forgiving" mistakes that you may do if you are a new rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Go to a dealers and sit on different styles of bikes and see which feels more comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofferz Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Go to a dealers and sit on different styles of bikes and see which feels more comfortable I'm your height and had a yamaha mt125 (naked, not cruiser) and it was fine if that's any help. But mainly do the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Honda varadero is about the biggest 125, even has a proper little twin engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Much the same responce as geofferz, I'm 6' and had a few days sitting on different bikes. I found the best for height was the Duke 125 closely follwoed by the MT-125 (which I bought). The CB125R was pretty close behind, but just felt that bit smaller. I didn't try anything trails/supermoto related so might be worth a look.Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 As your looking towards a cruiser i may as well suggest something in that line rather than bikes not in that style .Yamaha xv 125 virago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
