125cc bikes for tall blokes

Hello!

I'm 17 years old, 6'2 (ish), and planning on getting a 125cc bike for University. I've read a lot of conflicting reviews and advice as to tall chaps on 125s, and was wondering whether anyone could help. Oh, and I'm thinking of getting a Honda CBF 125.

 

Many thanks!

I have this issue, but I'm 6'7" :( Honda Varadero would be a good bet, or any road legal motocross style bike as they have extra ground clearance so a taller seat height.

Also, can anyone tell me what larger race bikes are out there? (any engine size)

You could also look at something like the Yamaha WR125R (trail bike style) or WR125X (supermoto style). These are both learner legal and are both tall bikes that would suit your height well as they have 'motocross' styling.

They are also great fun to ride (especially the WR125X)!
