I have a S50 and it's a good fit for me at 5'-7". At 6'-2" it might be a little small for you. I like the footpegs being a little farther back than other bikes I tried, but you are over 6' and could feel cramped. The C50 and M50 have longer wheelbases and seem to fit taller riders better. Plus they weigh about 100# more.

I love my S50 however and will keep it until one of us wears out.
