Is a 400/four too small for a 6ft 1in bloke?

And some more delicate parts of the anatomy. Or so I'm told. Ahem.

I'm only 5' 5" and 130lbs and our 400/4 fits me perfectly. My 94' Kawasaki Concours weighs 700lbs and I tour on it but you guys don't really need a bike you can do 800 miles in a day.. I have to wear my logging boots with heels to flatfoot on it. The best part about being this small is all bikes are faster when I ride them.  8)

I'm 6' and 14 stones and owned a 350/4 for some years, until 2004. I once rode it to Cornwall (from Norfolk) and then on to Wales, before returning home.

The bike was faultless in every respect (it was bought from a private collector in the U.S. and came to me with only 2,800 miles on the clock, at 26 years old).

Although I would often choose to ride it over other bikes, I did eventually sell it for the very reason given - that when I sat on it, the bike disappeared from view. I usually sat on the pillion seat and, whilst I am uninterested in fashion in any way (ask my wife or daughter!) I began to realise that I resembled the "oversized man on a donkey" seen on comic holiday cards of years ago. This was too much, even for me!

Now, I restrict myself to 750cc or more amongst the older bikes (although a CB500/4 is just about sensible).
