No not too tall. I have seen a 6'5" guy on a 883 sporty lol
But you can do other things to make it fit you better along the way. Seat, extended forward controls, ape hangers, etc blah blah blah.. All that really matters is if you feel comfortable while riding. The hell what everyone else thinks! But in my honest opinion you do not look "too big" for the bike. Goodluck and let us know how it goes.

Unfortunately, for many, a seat change is necessary on these bikes and it can make all the difference in the world.
I'm 6'2 and there is no way I could have lived with the stock seat on my Street Bob. And even with that Harley's just have different riding positions than most other bikes.
There's plenty of folks even taller than you though riding HD's, you wouldn't be the first so you can make it happen.
That FB you're sitting on has blacked out mirrors/stems, I wonder if they are all like that or if that dealer put them on?
Not a bad looking bike
It's also interesting that you put a space between your sentences and punctuation marks.
You're from out of town, got something around your neck for ID or some convention/meeting, got British shoes, Canadian or western european maybe? I'm going with WE. Your pants are too tight to be comfortable in that heat and humidity for average wear, what's the story here?

Tallboy seat was the ticket for me at 6'2" on a low rider. They do look goofy as hell but they are bad *** comfortable and the height and pullback is excellent.
Bad *** comfortable? That doesn't sound right for a seat... But I can't bring myself to say "happy ***"

Cuff of the jeans looked Italian, shoes looked bigger than normal for Italian but, he's a big Italian. Yeah, Michele of course isn't a common name stateside, also, two rings on right hand isn't that common around Decatur parts either 
I'm guessing closer to the Swiss or Austrian border.
So, where in Italy are you from?
