I am 6'4'' 315 and I roll on a 06 GS500f which is great except up hill. I just upgraded mu front springs to .95 handles like a champ

I have owned one before. It was MASSIVE. That engine outruns the capabilities of the rest of the bike VERY quickly, namely the BRAKES!!!!!

If I was big I'd find myself a Kawasaki ZRX1100/1200, but I'm not. I'm only about 5'8 and 145lbs, so I try to stick to the smaller end of the scale.

ZRX's are NICE, but still too expensive for my wallet.
