I'm 6'4" 200lbs and rides just fine for me... I even throw the wife on the back. Just got back from a two hour ride here in Cincinnati. Beautiful day to be able to ride around here on Dec 28th!

The Sportster is a great bike but I'd like to know if you all think that a 1200 low is too low for a guy 5'11" and 180 lbs. Greg
