    Hello,

    I heard that the firebolt could be rather uncomfortable for the taller riders. I was wondering how tall you guys are and how comfortable you think the ride is.

    I'm 6'3" and ride rather comfortably... my daily commute is about 30 mins and I have taken it out on all day rides without any issue... I think the bigger issue though is one of having the proper gear. use a kidney belt to help take the strain off your lower back and comfortable riding boots and you're gtg..

    6'5" @ 250lbs

    1" lowering kit-pegs; rear axle pegs; crash cage w/pegs

    makes it more comfy on longer rides

    6'3", and it is just fine. Any sportbike is going to give you lower back strain from staying leaned over for a long time, but I don't think there is a size problem with my bolt

    here's the scary thing about Ram's height... if he were to lay down on the ground beside his bike... He'd be longer than the whole damn bike.... !

    But I'm glad that you are riding a 'Bolt Ram... if you rode anything smaller than a 'Bolt... you'd look like this!
    :D:D:D
