height?

[swampduc]

I'm 6' 4", 190lbs and I ride a 696. The stock seat isn't great for us tall guys so I ponied up for the DP touring seat. I'd say it raises the seat a bit over an inch and flattens out the seat/tank junction to make it much more comfortable. I don't feel uncomfortable or that the bike is too small for me. Sure, it would fit better if I was 5' 10" but eventually you just have to realize that nothing about motorcycling is made to accomodate us tall fellas.

I've had a WAAAAY harder time finding motorcycle jackets that fit. Speaking of which, any of you tall guys have any suggestions on leather jackets with long arms?

Talk to stopintime or DoubleEagle. They've both had luck with Dainese; one's 6'3" and the other's 6'5".

Yes, I like the way Dainese fit me - 6'3" with normal/long arms.
I'd say that a Euro 56 will probably be long enough, but at 190 you may have to get one of their race'ier models for it to be a proper fit.
Difficult to be sure without trying a few on.

Another Euro slim fit manufacturer with great reviews, also by me, is Rev'it.

Are you looking at an old or new generation Monster?  What kind of riding do you plan on doing?  City?  Distance?  Commuter?

I have an '03 620.  Rode it as a daily commuter up until 2/10 when I bought a '10 1100.   I'm 5'9 and when I ride the 620 now, it feels a lot cramped.

I'd get a new Monster or an MV Brutale..as previously mentioned.
