Tall
riders sometimes complain that there aren't enough motorcycles
built to fit them. Honda's XR650L is tall enough for Shaquille
O'Neil. Like Suzuki's
DRZ-400S, its perch is simply too high for
the great majority of beginning riders. The seat is tall, however,
because of its excellent, long-travel suspension. The 644cc
engine can pull stumps from the ground. Seat height: 37 inches.
