No and no...lol. You wont be sticking out of the top at 6'1, but with the hardtop or with the rag top up, you'll be right near the roof for sure. People have gone with lower sitting frame rails to remedy this, but stock...head room is not plentiful.

very good idea...

on long road trips I get out a couple extra times to stretch, but it isnt that bad.

I usually have to take a whizz anyway. (do people still say whizz?)

HAHA Yeah...I am pretty sure 'whizz' is a term still used.


Back on topic...at 6'0"...I fit fine...even with my helmet on. (track helmet...not short-bus helmet. )
