I think he weighs more than the bike

I adjusted the controls to fit me, I have a 36" inseam and long arms; others that have ridden my bike call it uncomfortable; I am good for all day rides and I am a truly Olde Farte, with arthritis and three bad disks in my lower back.

If some guy wants to ride with the skinny little seat shoved up his ass, let him,, just somebody please photoshop out the "plumber's butt"......owww..my eyes.....

I am one of those others. I love that bike of yours...but after about 10 minutes I am hurting.

even with his weight... that 600 will still haul ass... faster than most cars

unless you were talking about if he's over the GVW... then I agree... but if he's a new rider... what choice is he left with really other than to step up in CC's.

Not necessarily. By most respects...a 1000cc sportbike is nearly identical in physical size to a 600cc sporty. So jumping up in CC's is going to do much for his comfort. If comfort is what this gentleman is looking for, which clearly it isn't, then he might need to look at a different style of bike.

I was thinking that too. A lot of liters are only a little heavier and a little bigger than 600s. If he wants to ride a sport bike comfortably he needs to look into a busa.
