I'm 6'2 and love my sporty roadster. I have the stock seat currently and mid controls. Its still comfortable. However I rode a fwd control bike nad its far more comfortable and I cant wait till I get my fwds.
I think you should be fine. Since you are looking for a fun light ride and obviously know that it probably wont be as comfortable as your roadglide. Anyway, I'm 6'4" and I have forwards. I feel pretty good. I have changed out the seat though.
lol,,we have the whole range here..I''m 6'3 220 and fit very comfortable on my 03 custom has forward mounts of course,,however ,,mid mounts make me feel pretty cramped
I'm 6'2 190lbs with a 34" inseam and the 1200c feels like it was made for me. Very comfortable riding position. Ya just can't beat a quick, agile Sporty.
Glad to hear so many tall guys (6'4" and 210 here) like the Sportster. I currently have a 2010 FLTRX, upgraded from a Heritage, and love it. Thinking of getting the wife a Sportster, but I am a little greedy and want to make sure I can enjoy it too. Glad for the thread.
2006 XL-883 Roadster. Sundowner, mid controls. 6'1 230 lbs. Gonna upgrade the shocks at some point. Mid controls are superior when it comes to the twisties. Get some highway pegs when you need a highway stretch.
