Hello tall guys,
which models and/or aftermarket folks have you used to better fit you?
I've got a 36" inseam on 6'5" frame, would like a newer 1200, but I see the seat height is only 33.5". Is this a doable and comfortable transition or should I just stick with my 950 Adventure?
Wanna buy » 6'5" riders + ?

I'm about 6'4" and have been kinda looking at a 2nd gen bike. I've done a little looking and I believe Touratech has a high seat and there are options for peg lowering (I can't remember where)

I'm only 6' with 32" inseam, but is very comfortable to me. I cannot see any bike being more comfortable for taller riders. Best to take a test ride.

Mike, have you tried the first generation Multi's?
The 1200 seems cramped to me by comparison.

I'm 6'4 with 33 inseam and my 06 MS fits me great, which is one of the many things i like about it.
If you can, keep the Ktm for dirt work -- an awesome bike -- and get a first generation MS for pure street work!

Im 6'5" and have an 04. Fits me great and had to get a new windscreen. I have seen those footpegs that give the rider and additional 2" but my legs seem fine.
I will say that I do make the bike look small. You can see that on my videos. I have posted a few videos of me riding it on here and youtube.
