    I've been offered a bike from a friend who's abroad. It's a yamaha dragstar. However, I'm reluctant to take it as I'm unsure it'd be suitable for someone of my height (I'm 6'7"). Does anyone know anything about this bike?

    Pick the bike and put your height in, and you will see how the bike will suit you.

    You might look a little less odd and more comfortable on the 1100. The 650 and 250 definitely no.

    If you are getting it for free then yes. Otherwise I wouldn't bother - cruisers are just a way of telling the world you know nothing about motorbikes.

    If your really keen on starting then sure why not ? Im 6"3 and drive a GZ125 I got for 300 euro. Yeh I look ridiculous but who cares, im on the road and becoming a better driver because of it.

    Obviously though there is a lot better bikes out there for your size.

    Took a ride off my buddies Marauder when he got it, besides being the worst thing I've ever had the displeasure of riding (and I've ridden some horrible things), it was so unbelievably uncomfortable I don't know how you do it.

    Fair play for just getting out there, but it's the kind of bike that would turn me off bikes.
