am i too big for an r?

[whoamack22]

im 6'4 and weigh 195, will an r be able to pull me around alright ? i have a deal goin right now with one and want to make sure im not to big or heavy for it . never ridden an r but have had a yfz450, just needing some insight thnx

you'll be ok

[punker69q]

I'm 6'7'' and 225 and my R is just fine for me. You will need some higher bend handlebars and/or a longer steering stem than stock.

As for the power, my 265r is able to make the tires spin on asphalt, so I think it's ok :macho

IMO just by looking, yfz's are a little smaller, and the R power is actually a little better(<-and thats not from just looking)

[JTRtrx250r]

Ive seen some pretty big dudes on R's... and the 1's that knew how to ride were just as fast as the rest..

[baseballplaya23]

yea i race with a real big guy on an r and he hauls. he also has a 330pv but he still hauls ***. he probably weighs about 280-300 lbs

I 6'4 and 185lbs. I dont have trouble on the R. I find it a lot more comfortable to sit on rather then the 400ex, or yfz. However, I do have a +1 stem. You dont have to worry power-wise, because none of the new factory quads can compare. Havent riden a trx450 so I cant compare that. IMO you CANNOT find a better performance platform then the 250r for the price of them. For the price of the new breed of quads, you can find a pro level R and leave your mind at rest.

the r is the only way to go!!!

[Jake250r]

yup. nothing like a honda 2stroker. hope you're leaving the 4pokes behind :macho

Im A pretty fat dude at 250lbs and I get around just fine on a 250R. At 6'4" I might consider a +1 stem

[robyone]

go for it, I'm a big dude and love my R. like the rest said, being 6'4 you might want to look for a taller stem and possibly the ac nerfs that move the the peg location down and back 1'' for a little leg room.
