On a serious note, I believe your intended question was, can a rider of that size tour that bike comfortably.
The answer, yes.

I'm 6/2 and 240 and could tour on a switchback easily. I prefer to keep my wide glide though

I'm 5'8" 205 lbs and owned a Switchback for 1.5 years. The bike itself fit me like a glove. I would do some research before buying one though. It is prone to strange vibrations which personally was the reason I traded it in. The suspension never felt quite right either.

There is an easy fix for the vibes!! look up clevis pin fix takes about $6 and 5 minutes of work at best.. I had one for 2 1/2 years. Its a great bike but for the price I would also look into a rk see which one he likes better..

Im pretty sure I qualify as a man...and I ride a switchback. Love it, and if he ever wants to do some touring its all there...the most versatile bike by harley IMO as far as having the best of both worlds (bagger and bobber)
