|  Help! Advice needed for a tall guy! Hi. I've currently got a savage 650 but am looking to move up as i am 6'4" and my suzi is just too small. i love the 650 v strom and i seem to fit on it. I was wondering if there were any other tall guys and gals out there that have put a lot of miles on the thing and wanted to share their experiences/feelings?Is everybody out there that purchased one happy with their vstrom? Thanks!

| I'm only 5' 8", but the guy I usualy ride with is 6' 5".He rides an 04 DL 1000. The only thing I've ever heard him complain about is poor wind protection. His head gets bounced around some, and he pick's up a lot of bugs on his helmet visor. He came off a 1200 Bandit, that he felt cramped on, if that helps.
