6’2” beginner rider — R7 or Ninja 650?

Hey guys,

I’m looking to get into motorcycles soon and could use some recommendations from taller riders.

I’m around 6’2” (187cm) and about 165 lbs (75kg).
Not exactly sure about my inseam length unfortunately.

I’m mainly interested in sport bikes / supersports because that’s the style I like the most, but I’m worried a lot of them might feel cramped for someone my height.

I’m still a beginner, so I’m not trying to jump straight onto a crazy liter bike or anything. Just looking for something that:

  • fits taller riders reasonably well
  • is beginner friendly enough
  • still has that sporty/aggressive look and feel

Right now I’ve been looking at stuff like:

  • Ninja 400 / 650
  • R3 / R7
  • CBR500R / CBR650R

Would love to hear what taller riders are comfortable on and what you’d recommend.

Thanks!
