TT 250 riders. Are any of you of larger size?

Didn't get much response on my original post so I'll try this. I'm thinking of ordering a TT250. I'm 6'5 275. Am I too big? I want to ride trails and back country roads. I'd like to be able to hit 55mph.

The TT250 will fit you perfect. Very similar to Hawk in height and power.

Second what JerryHawk250 said , MegaDan "The Worlds Largest Midget" is closeish to your range and he rides a Hawk 250 and is fine ,and the TT250 is basically an upgunned

Hawk .You'll be fine .

I'm 6' and currently 240. I fit our TT250 "ok". At your size, I'd be leery. Mrs. 2LZ X husband was 6'6" and 380. There's no way he'd fit.

As Redcrow said, you and I are basically the same size. You will fit quite fine on a TT250. I find my Hawk pretty darn comfortable as far as rider position.

The only two adjustments that will likely need to be done are adding preload to the suspension tor proper rider sag (they don't come setup for us sasquatches). and likely a set ofadjustable bar risers to bring the bars up a hair and move them forward, but that is personal preference.

Thanks Dan.. I keep going back and forth between the TT, Hawk and TBR. I can pre order a hawk fully assembled for $1700ish, the TT is nearly a grand more, and at the end of the day I don't think it's all that different. The hawk seems a tad larger too. So maybe I'm on the hawk train now.
