I think you'll be ok. But if you are really concerned, try out a XB12Ss, which is a longer bike made for longer people. Test ride both and go with what feels best.

Well the dealer that is close to my place only had the 1125R. Boy that was a blast! but it was just a demo bike they had. They only had a Buel Blast in stock. Other than that it was all HD's. But i think im going to go with the XB12R, thanks for your imput and fast reply!

I have the 08 XB12R, my buddy is 6'2' 250++ and he says its the most comfortable sport bike hes ever sat on. Strong suspension, I think buell is the perfect sportbike for u bigger guys, theres enough torque there to get you goin!
