Weight wise, no. Lengthwise, perhaps. My 6'5" friend gets hip cramps when he sits on mine.

Try going to the dealership and sitting on one.

160 is nuffin'. I say, if you weigh more than the cc's of your bike, then don't get it.

As for the riding position, your knees will get cramped and sore. Be sure to stretch them out whenever you can.

I get cramped up on a 250 and I'm 6'3" and 170. Best way is to go sit on one.
