Bikes and height, what would suit someone who is 6'5"

So, I have always wanted a motor bike. But any time I have sat on one I have felt that I was too tall for it. What bike would suit my height?

I'm 6'5" (Just under 2m)

Hmmm, perhaps...

Or maybe a Varadero/Vstrom/TDM would be better.

Hi Oeb, I'm just over 6ft4 myself and I look quite silly on most bikes. I went out and got the biggest bike I could get my hands on recently, a Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic. Its barge of a yoke and I've been told by many that it looks well with me on it.

Its a new enough bike but they've been making them for over 20 years now so you could pick up and old Vulcan 1500 easy enough and they great thing is they are all under the 0.16 power to weight limit of your provisional.
