Looking at a Kpm 200

[herbie]

I found a 2022 for $2849 free shipping, seems like a great price. I’m 6’ 1” , am I too tall for this bike? It’s a sharp looking machine me thinks!

Looks like it has a long flat seat, so you can slide back and get comfortable.

there have been a lot of taller riders that have used this bike, the inseam is fairly tall for such a low displacement bike. I was surprised how big the bike was when I finally bought one, but I am only 5'9"

I'm 5'8", but have a 32" inseam (long legs, short torso). I can stand-up over it comfortably, and actually have about an inch or so between me and the bike. My legs don't feel cramped while sitting on the bike, but does feel too far forward. I tend to like the sport bike seating position more, so I like my feet further back and farther up, as well as being leaned further more. The factory handlebars will have you sitting quite upright. I compare the seating position to a Suzuki TU250X as that's exactly how I felt sitting on one during my MSF course.

Thanks for the reply's :tup:, I had a change of mind on the KPM and went with the KPR instead, ordered it a couple of days ago.

Just for anyone else that may have this same question, I am 6' 3" and I fit near perfect on the KPM200. You could probably get by being slightly taller but not by much.

The Kpm is a nice bike and a looker in my opinion, I was going back and forth which one to get but it came down to the instrument cluster to tell you the truth. I love the cluster on the KPR, not so much on the KPM. There’s a couple of other things that the KPR does for me but I would still like to have the Kpm, maybe next year :tup:

The instrument cluster Sucks on the KPM. Not gonna lie. Lol

Shouldn't be too hard to replace and add to the handlebars....

Actually, it's very hard. You'll need to make a jumper harness because the wires aren't long enough to reach the bars. You'll also have to leave the factory cluster in place, because the tank is shaped to fit the original cluster so it sits flush. Also, after you find or make a bracket to hold the new cluster, the cluster will be in the way of the key. It's a real PITA.
