I'm 6'4". Is the Buell Lightning XB12S good or bad for tall riders?

I'm 6'2" and I barely fit on the Lightning. I ended up going with a Firebolt and it fit alot better.

I'm 6'7" and when I sat on the XB12 it seemed as though the contours in the frame were built for my legs. I'll be picking one of these bikes up this summer for sure.

I just took the plunge a month ago. I'm 5'10" and oddly like the answer just ahead of mine I could've sworn the bike was designed for my build. May depend alot more on leg length. 32"inseam hits right on target. 4 weeks this Friday and just passed 1000 miles this a.m. Love it!

I just picked up the XB12Ss, Lightning Long. I am 6'2" and fit great. This is the long version which is 2" longer than the non-long version. Compared to the Cityx it is much more comfortable.
