    Thinking of getting a sports bike, i’m 6ft and would i be a bit cramped on a Daytona?

    Are you thinking of a 765?
    An old 955 is nice and comfy, I’m 6’2 and have no problem on mine but a 765 might be a bit small. Haven’t tried one though as yet ;)

    I’ve got dodgy knees and ankles so possibly a bit extreme for me then!

    You might consider a Sprint as a compromise. I suffer from some.of.these problems common to aging.I found the Sprint capable, fast, yet still pretty comfortabe. But not quite a sport bike. ...J.D.

    That’s why I didn’t keep my R6 that long. Being 6’2” it was certainly a bit cramped on any ride over about 30 miles :confused:

    I’m 6”2. I’ve got a 17 plate 636 which is possibly the easiest bike I’ve ever had
