Default yes or no

I am 6'4 and approximately 290. My question is this, I am looking at buying a 2000 Night Train. Is this bike going to be to small for me? I did ride it and felt comfortable, but I am more concerned about how I look. What do you all think?

You're a big man chief, but if you rode the bike and you liked it, hell yes get it. Besides I don't think you should worry about how you look on it and what others will think. As long as you like it is what counts.

Don't worry about it dude. I'm at the opposite extreme....

My short ass is only 5'7" and ride a Road King. Wearing my work shoes, just barely on the balls of the feet, can't wait 'till the end of the work day and I can put on my biker boots and get flat footed again.

I'd go try to test ride some bikes at ur local hd dealer.

You might be more comphy with a bike that has extended forward controls.. (3+ inches from stock)
check out the used bikes at your local HD dealer or not so local if you dont see a nice selection..

No, I don't believe it would be too small for you.&nbsp\\; Now my 1200C, yes, but not the Night Train.&nbsp\\; My cousin is your size and I'm only 5'8" 180, go figure.&nbsp\\;
