Need advice

[Kelly12r]

First off im new so Hello everyone.

Ok im going to be driving 2 hrs to go look at the buell 12r friday, since the harley here dosnt carry them. I noticed there alittle shorter in height and wheel base than other sportbikes. Im 6'2 and 250 lbs. Is this bike gona be too small? anyone else around my size and have this bike?

Thanks, Kelly

lot of money for a small bike..after you take a test ride get back and let us know what you think

It's not the size it's how you use it.

Will they let you test ride? Hopefully so since your driving so far. Have you been on a Buell before? If not your in for a treat

I'm 6-4 and 250, and on Beth's cg I'm hopelessly cramped. It's not as bad as a Blast but it's close. Sitting on the regular height S or R I'm more comfortable, especially on the R, and I don't think it's very much different than most sportbikes. Beth of course finds the cg to be almost too big, being 5-1 and 95 pounds.
