Help on buying xj6 needed

[Toster]

Hi guys. I am looking to buy myself one xj6 and the only thing that is bathering me is how it is to ride for taller people. I am 188cm tall(6.2f). Any help would be appriciated.ty

It's fine for me, 6ft, 33" inside leg.

Best bet though is to actually just go to a dealership with a friend and get him to hold it as you sit on one.

Pointless just sitting on it with legs either side, you need someone to lean on or paddock stands to get both legs up and assess the position for you.

I'm 6"3 and 250 pounds and it's fine for me. Nice relaxed position. Plenty of room on the seat which is also adjustable along with the handle bars to suit your needs. Great ergos for even us taller folk. you will love the bike and +1 on sitting on the bike properly with both feet on pegs. Gives proper indication of the riding position.
