| | Just took the MSF course & looking for a first bike. Noticed at MSF that I preferred the taller bikes (don't know the makes or seat heights)--at nearly six feet, am I too tall for the Rebel? I love everything else about the bike, but am concerned I'll feel cramped on longer rides... |

| | I rode one for my basic riders course. I am about 6ft tall, with a 32" inseam, it was just pushing a little small for me, but still a comfortable ride, and easy to learn on. Your best bet would be go to a dealership and sit on one, see how you like it... if you don't fit, you can spend a little more (approx $500) and get a Nighthawk, which has the same engine, but on a taller chasis. |

| The Rebel is a great little bike, but at nearly 6 feet, you will be cramped and have trouble shifting. Not a lot of space between the footpeg and the shifter.

| | The taller MSF bike may have been the Honda Nighthawk 250. Same engine as the Rebel, but in a standard frame and ergos. |
