[Toot]

Hi
Since I placed my order for the UE a few months back I have been looking out for stories and pictures about tall people and scramblers. I have watched a few videos and read a couple of stories that mostly point to people over 5ft10 being "too" tall or make reference to riders "looking weird".
Some people have responded to say "who gives a toss what you look like, as long as you are having fun!"
I have been doubting whether I should stick with my order or not so I decided to post a few pics to show what a tall rider on a Scrambler looks like so hopefully it helps other people who may be wondering to make their mind up. So far my order is sticking.
Have fun!

I don't think you should care what others think, if it's a Scrambler you want then it's a done deal.
But, if you are looking at alternatives and it doesn't have to be a Scrambler then have a look at the KTM 690 SMCR, very tall and is a bit more lively. I have both and feel the Scrambler (UE) has more character.

Mmm...I like KTM so have looked at the 690. I had a 950S for a while, and more recently been looking at the 990 Anniversary models that come up for sale ever now and then - also in Dakar Blue . But I think "light is right" and I am not planning any sort of hectic adventure any time soon...so looking forward to the UE.

I appreciate you posting the picture. I'm 6' 2" and have sat on a scrambler at the dealer wondering if I looked like someone 5' 10" riding a Honda Grom. With a taller after market seat and some adjustable foot pegs looks like we'll be good to go.

6'7" and I love the Scram.


Boom. You're it!

Wow, good thing you got a Scrambler to get you out of that inclement weather people that tall have to deal with

We enjoy the view above the clouds.
And I'm only 6'2"

I should be more concerned about width as compared to height.

Does the term "circus bear" bring any visuals?

Hahaha, guess how I afforded the scrambler? I demanded a dollar every time someone asked me how tall I was. Note to self: need to attend more public events, so I can buy more accessories.

Here is a photo I posted in another thread of my gf and I. Yes its cramped, but we make it work.

That's not cramped, just "cozy"

I think you look natural on the bike Toot. Not awkward or cramped. Are you comfortable? Looks fine.

At least the Scrambler has quite a light clutch action, you would find it difficult to operate otherwise, you know, with having four fingers missing.

LOL.

The most important finger of all!

I'm 6'4" and had the same thought in the back of my mind. But after demo ride thought [email protected]#k it. The Bikes awsome! So now waiting for mine to be delivered.

[ladyeclectic]

I suppose a better indicator might be listing your inseam length as well...

 

[NickJ]

I guess being of average height isn't all that bad after all. I fit in all of the sports cars, as well as look at home on most bikes.
