im 5'11 flat footed just wanted to know if a 2006 honda cbr 600 is a good fit for my height? if not any suggestions?

 

Your fine. I have a 2005 cbr 600 and I'm 5'8". I can't flat foot but I do just fine.

 

i'm 5'6" and have no problems on the older cbr's even the new ones i felt pretty comfortable

 

You're just going to have to sit on one. I've heard of guys with longer inseams not liking some 6's.

 

You will be fine. Whatever you do, don't get a lowering kit. Those are lame as hell. I have never ridden a bike that has been lowered, yet I would bet it totally screws up the handling.

 

it screws it up big time, turning radius is killed and you can't lean comfortably without the fear of a peg or something scraping the ground. and as far as being 5'11" and being comfortable on a 6, i know females that barely hit the 5 foot mark riding zx6s and gixxer 600s so i think you're being a little paranoid

 

if anything, I usually raise the rear/low the forks irregardless of seat height or ability to touch the ground.

the ability to touch the ground is just about the lowest in a line of priorities of a cyclist.

 

I have friends that race and/or do trackdays. On their bikes the tail and seat sections are usually way higher than in stock form. Some of these guys are fairly small and they don't have any problems. Although to be fair, they rarely have to stop.

 

Im 5'9 - 5'10 and have no problems on any sport bikes.

 

I'm the same height as UA6 BAULER STATUS.

With a CBR600RR sitting on a kickstand, I can sit on the seat and have my left foot sit about three inches from the ground and my right foot about eight inches from the ground.

 

What? Are you talking about how far your feet are off the ground while they are resting on the pegs? Or were you saying that you couldn't touch the ground with either foot?

 

I can't touch the ground with either foot.

 

im the same height and i can sit flat footed on both feet on my 01 cbr600f4i.....

 

8in??? Thats far from the floor..... how about on the bike with the kickstand up???? i'm 5'6" and have no problems at all i can almost flatfoot. Check out the Astars stella boot with the 3 in heels

 

f4i is slightly lower i think but still at 5'11" you guys should be having no problem touching the ground.

 

It could be that they are actually much shorter than they claim.

 

i think thats it.. iv sat on about every new 600 and im 5 11 and had no problems, could easily have both down, some only tip toes but its not that bad those bikes are so balanced
