TT250 Tall Rider

[onthefly]

Hey guys,
First time poster here. I'm seriously considering ordering a TT250. My only concern is if it's going to be a good fit for me. I'm 6'5. I'm wondering if any of you that may be in the same boat as me can chime in. It's mainly just going to be ridden short distances and some gravel/light trail riding. Thanks for any suggestions!
P.s. I know a klr or Drz would probably be my best bet, but I'm hoping to get a new bike instead of used if possible.

I'm 7' tall and just rode my Hawk the first time today, roughly the same bike.

I like it. I took the passenger pegs off because I sit mostly on the back seat. I have some handlebar risers in route that should make it even more pleasant.

I'm 6' 2" and I think it's a comfortable fit. Got mine Friday and have been riding it all weekend.

Ok awesome. I think im gonna pull the trigger. About how long does delivery take on the TT?

I ordered my TT on a Wednesday, it was shipped on Friday and arrived in perfect condition on the following Tuesday. CSC rocks.

6'4 (formerly 6'6'') tall person here. I have a 35" inseam and found my Hawk (basically the same bike) one of the most comfortable bikes to ride. I never felt cramped on it, nor ever had any muscular or joint related discomfort. Honestly, the only uncomfortable thing about the bike was the seat. The foam sucked lol.

Thanks for the info! I went ahead and ordered a white TT.

Also, I saw your thread about your hawk. Really sorry to read that. Some people are just the worst.

Congrats on the purchase. Thank you for the kind words. I am so used to my stuff being stolen, damaged, or vandalized that it really doesn't phase me much anymore. People do suck.

Mine came exactly 14 days from the day I place my order. No problems, everything worked great. Really happy!

Right on! I ordered mine on 5/21 and it looks like it's going to come on the two week mark as well. This is like the longest two weeks ever. Haha.

Loving this bike! Pics below ( hopefully)

Nice bike onthefly, I like the white TT250 also. You should fit good on that bike. Most of these bikes sit tall, even my Storm with 17/19 tire combo will be a good fit for someone around six foot. I'm 5'10 and cant stand flat footed.

welcome to the group!

Thanks man! Put about 60 miles on it today on gravel roads and had a lot of fun. Definitely no issues with size. Seems like a good fit. I did order a new bulb for the notoriously dim headlight, but that's the only obvious thing I wanna remedy short term.

The reason I love the Hawk is because it gives me small bike thrills, but ergonomically it fits me much better than most small engine bikes. Otherwise I would be riding a CBR250R or similar.

Congrats on the bike and glad you like it. They are wonderful machines. Literally all the bike you need to do anything short of a cross country tour, and even then you could manage that if you were hardcore enough and stayed off the interstates lol.

Love the white. They look good in white.
