| I'm 6' and 200lb. I have not got a Rebel yet and have the same questions. I have been finding some good info at:
http://www.rebel250.com/
Seeing as it will be my first, I'm strongly leaning in its direction. Apparantly there is a metal plate in the seat you can remove which help taller folk as well as a few other mods you can make.
There are comments from several people on the forum who are our size and taller who either don't have much problem or have made the bike 'fit'. One thing, they all seem to adore their Rebels.
Hope this helps.

| I'm 5'8" and it's good for me. I've had friends take it for the day who are about you're size and their response is that it is too small for them, especially if on along ride. I even had to adjust the handlebars to keep it from hitting my knees in slow tight corners. Just an opinion. Take one out for ride and decide for yourself.

| That's a tough one. I've had two 6 Ft. friends ride on my Rebel. One loved it, the other hated it. I'd suggest going to a dealer and sitting on one. And you always have the option of adding Forward Controls to lenghten it out just a bit.
