As far as the size goes, the bike does sit low. However, it should fit your height/weight just fine. The one issue that you may experience as I stated in the article is a hurting back during long rides. But, I can’t speak for you as everyone is different. I can say that my dad was on mine a couple times. He's about 6' 2" 225 pounds, and he seems to like the feel of it. If you’ve never ridden before and this is going to be your first bike, I might recommend starting with something a little smaller, (not necessarily engine size, but overall weight. This is a heavy bike. However, if you have any experience riding, you should have no problems with this bike. I love mine and I can’t wait to get it back out next season. My advice to your for now is try to get out and ride a few. See what styles you like. See what feels comfortable. I would never recommend buying a bike without riding it first. Good Luck! @Bill

I just bought my first motorcylce (M50 of course) based mostly on this review (believe it or not), but mine is a used one, it's a 2006 model, but the guy who sell me the bike don't gave me the owners manual, do you know where i can get a copy of that? Again thanks for the review and sorry for my english. Man what a great bike, and good review too.

I'm going to take a test ride on it within the next 3 days so we'll see how it goes?

I know one of the most important adjustments made to the bike after the break in is to reseat the valves. But I'm no mechanic. :) If the store has a service department, I would check with one of their mechanics to see if you should even be worried about that. @Robert I’m not sure how much damage could actually be done during the break in period by giving it too much throttle.

Should I be concerned that somebody may cranked that throttle too much before the break in period ?

I ran it up to 75 the other day and it was smooth the whole way up. But I could have missed it as my Rebel wasn’t the smoothest ride when it came to highway cruising. If this rainy weather ever goes away I’ll give it a proper test and post back here. Thanks for your comments. Curtis @Jeff Rodgers

My only complaint is the engine vibration that starts at about 60 mph (while in 5th gear). I am moving up from a Suzuki Bergman 400 (scooter). This bike was smooth as silk at all speeds so I may be spoiled. Do you get a noticeable increase in engine vibration above 60 mph as well? thanks Jeff I just finished the break-in period on my new M50 and like you I am very happy with it.
