Hi folks, my first venture into this part of the forum. I haven't had a bike for 9 years and am thinking of buying a cheap 2nd hand bike to get back into riding. I've started looking at bike trader and have been bitten again!

I used to have a '97 Bandit and a '99 ZZR. My legs are pretty long and after a while, my knees started to ache.

I like the look of the Bandit still, so will probably just have to put up with the knee aches. But, I also like the look of the Suzuki SV650. Anyone know how comfortable they are for the taller guy or can anyone recommend a Bandit/SV sports tourer type for long legs?

Cheers,

Thanks for your replies guys.

I'm 6' 4" also with a 34" leg. My old man has a 08 12S which I take out for a ride when I visit, but I still get knee ache with that.

I wasn't aware of peg lowering kits, so that's certainly something I can look into.

Thanks again,
