| | If your comfortable ride it. I myself am 6'3" and prefer the custom due to the forward controls, they allow for a little more leg room. Don't worry about power the 1200 has plenty!! |

| I am 6'2" and bought the 1200S back in March. I feel that if you are going to get this bike, definately ad on the forward controls, it makes a world of difference. Otherwise, your knees are going to cramp up within less than an hour. While the bike does have a fully tunable suspension, it is still a Sporty and the seat on the sport doesn't lift you to allow for longer legs.
Other than that, it is a phenomenal bike that outperformance any other stock twin regardless of size, and thats before changing anything on it.

| | I'm 6'3" and recently bought a 1200S. I love the bike. Real maneuverable and plenty of power - for around town. It feels a little cramped for longer rides. Forward controls might fix tho I hear. |

| I'm 6'2", 225 lbs. with a the same bike. I put freeway pegs on and changed the seat to a touring seat and have no problems with cramping or sore butt. 200 miles last weekend and of five guys that went on various bikes, I was the only one not complaining.
