    Here are a couple of photos of my husband (6'4" 185lbs.) on the Terra. He is going to replace his KLR, most likely with the Terra. He gave it a test ride, was really impressed. Then got home and looked at the photos I took, and thinks he looks too big on it. He says it was really comfortable and he didn't FEEL too big, everything else was great, he just doesn't want to LOOK silly... this is kind of strange coming from a guy who has been known to appear in public wearing holey sweatpants or sandals with socks hiked up to his knees. Anyway, I thought this would be a good way to get an honest opinion, so give us your vote and/or comments. Thanks.

    I think he looks fine, he's a tall guy so naturally he'll make the bike look a little smaller from the side. If it bothers him maybe have the seat replaced with a taller seat. Quite frankly, flat footed at a stop is a good thing!

    Toss the rubber foot peg inserts, get Motosportz bar risers, high bend Fat Bars, and a taller seat when it comes out. I've done all that minus the seat and it improved the cockpit substantially. I'm 6' 2" and feel comfortable all day on the bike.
