Hi there everyone, so long since I have been on here, but as soon as I saw the bike, I knew this would be the place to ask.

Well, it’s been a year since my crash on my old Kawa Ninja 250cc, and I am tempted to get back into the saddle again… but not just any saddle.

I am 6’4″ and noticed on the ninja my back would hurt after an hours ride… so I though if I am going to buy another bike, then at least it should be more accommodating.

I also wanted something nicer, safe, well equipped, etc.. and just today I think I found a winner.

I threw the photo on my server, the link to see her is at the bottom of the text.

She’s a BMW F800 S 2007 with heated handlebars, ABS, etc.

Is this a good bike to go to from a 250cc (remember that although I crashed, it was the prick jumping the red light who was at fault, not me!)

I tried her out, and she felt good, loved the chain belt… or lack of it I should add. She has the protective things in case of a fall (I know there is a technical word for these, but I simply am too tired to remember).

Anyway, with my height I wanted everyones opinion on if it is a good fit. Mon’s – Fri’s running to and from the office in the capital city here (rush hour, zipping in-between cars, etc)

Weekend country roads, wiring lanes, and maybe a triover the Andes mountains now and again.

Let me know.
