This is why there are bikes of different sizes. When I read a magazine bitching that their 5'6" 125lb reviewers can't touch the ground, I want to beat them down. Everything isn't sized for a woman you dick.
This guy should have bought a bike that fit HIM. That bike ain't it.
I make a Uly look small. I would probably make a 600 look like a pocket bike.
That dude is a big bastard, but even if he went on a diet, that bike would be too small for him.

I'm sorry, but that's how big I am, and I rock a 700lb cruiser and a homologation race bike and I can pick both of them up from the ground, alone. Just because I'm small doesn't mean I can't do something, I just have to get inventive or simply be strong enough.
But I agree with the fact that the bike and rider need to "fit" each other. When I was still living in FL, I was sitting at a light when a girl, smaller than Rae, on a KLR 650 rolled up in the other lane. There was no way she could've touched even one toe without dropping the bike. But she improvised, leaned out so that her left hamstring was on the seat and ballerina tipped her right foot so that she could keep the bike upright. Bike and rider definitely didn't "fit," but she made it work. This poor slob needs something about the size of a ZX14 or Harley.
