Height, Age and Weight
#53
I'm a little fat guy - 5'7" and 13 stone. Age 58.
I ride an 07 ER-6f. I've had to raise the seat an inch to make it more comfortable on long trips, but power wise it's fine. I got fed up of overpowered and overpriced ***** extensions that I couldn't use hard in normal everyday riding. The ER-6 is the smallest bike I could find that does the job. Otherwise I'd have a 250, but that struggles a bit on regular 400 - 500 miles a day highway trips.
Wasn't too sure about the handling until I raised the seat, but now it feels very like a sixties vintage 250 Honda. That's a compliment.

65yrs. young and ride an 04 that was my Dads until he passed on to the big race track in the sky. He raced MX until he was 65 yrs. old, wish I was in that good of shape. We both ran a Husqvarna shop from 1972 until 1986 when they sold out to Cagiva. Almost forgot, 5'6" and 155 lbs. Sold my ZX-10 and started riding the 2fiddy when Pa passed on. I was getting plain stupid on the 1000.
