If a guy is really tall, (say, 6'4" and up), almost every bike is too small. Some are a lot worse than others, of course. I always thought that Harley Davidson accommodated large riders the best; in fact, many riders are too small for their bikes. The Monster has always been a bike that big guys can't ride, at least not without looking like they're on a clown cycle. I'm 6' with a 31" inseam and the old Monster fit me like it was tailor made. Just unbelievably perfect, better than anything I've ever sat on. The new one is not as good but still comfortable.

I have a buddy who is huge, (6'5"+), who has a new GS 1200 and absolutely loves it. He has it all kitted-out with boxy luggage and racks and he looks perfect on it plus is comfortable. He also has a Ducati GT 1000 but he never rides it anymore. The GS is a serious love affair. I'll see if I can find a picture...
