Default Would I look stupid on a bike?

Im 6 foot even, 210 lbs, chubby, big boned. Just some reference, i wear a size 13 shoe and my hand is about 8.25 inches from palm to tip of middle finger, and im a 34/36 waist. Now, would i look totally out of place and stupid in a 600cc bike like a gsxr or an f4i?



Id love to get one, i have a couple of friends that have em and the kid im going to move in with is getting one once winter comes, i wouldnt get one if i was going to ride alone, but i wanna know if someone my size would look out of place on the smaller bikes.

no, you wouldn't look stupid on one. you would look stupid if you tried to get a 1000 and wrecked it. my roommate has a kawasaki 636 and you can't even tell. he's about 6'1" 250. he's a big bitch. you can't tell with a riding jacket on. just make sure you tuck in the back of your shirt so your ass crack isn't showing.

Why not? that's the best way to ride. You tend to get in less trouble and can get out of it easier when you do get into it =)

plus when riding with other people you get pulled into the shit they do. If you're together and one of your jackass friends does something stupid you almost always have to do it with them to keep up.

on top of that some times you end up playing the bigger penis game. it just makes you push the bike past your limits to out do the other guy.

I'll ride with others, but not often.

I ride alone.. Only because all of the friends I was supposed to ride with either died, mamed themselves, never got a bike, or chickened out after our second friend died in a motorcycle accident. I'm the only one left with a bike. See sig.

And yeah, I look stupid huge on it.. looks like a moped on me. (6'4, 240)

Yeah, I had my reasons.. It was low, custom, and I planned on stretching the frame and forking it. The 883 was for insurance. I pay $17 a month full coverage, the 1200 would be $75.
