I’m 6’5” (196 cm) and recently test rode a Himalayan 450.

A few things stood out:
My knees felt quite high and I couldn’t naturally grip the tank (tried the mana black with 860mm as well)

The bike felt heavier than I expected.

The engine didn’t really excite me when revving it out.
Overall I felt a bit cramped despite the bike being marketed as roomy.

I’m now considering the KTM 390 Adventure (new model) but haven’t had a chance to test ride one yet.

For riders around 6’3”–6’7”:
Did the KTM 390 Adventure feel noticeably roomier than the Himalayan 450?
How does the seat-to-peg distance compare?
Where do your knees sit relative to the tank?
Any issues doing 4–5 hour rides?
Did you need a taller seat, lowered pegs, or bar risers?
Also open to other bikes in a similar price range that fit very tall riders well.
