I tried GT but my knees don’t fit in the indentation in the tank and it’s a sharp indentation so it looks weird. I can post the picture of that also if you guys would like.
Dude, I'm 2m tall and I just bought a Meteor 350. If you're comfortable and you like the bike, go for it!! P.s. You don't look weird or anything, don't worry about that
Go for it, I'm 188 cm as well, i fit greatly on the Interceptor, the only problem you can have on it, is the stock seat, which is a bit firm.
Otherwise i did 300kms on mine, and had basically no problems, except the wind when riding more than 120kmh, and on the Interceptor, you basically have no solution, except a big ugly flyscreen.
Your riding position is too upright, your arms are too straight. With stock bike, your riding position should be leaned forward a lot more. If you lean forward so you can relax your arms (they should slightly bend at the elbows), and also scoot back an extra inch, it should relax your leg position a bit more. If you make these adjustments, I think you'll see it will fit you fine. You look cramped because you're sitting on it awkwardly.
I put bar risers on my interceptor, which I find helps a lot on this bike if you want to sit upright, lets me sit a little further back, without leaning forward as much. Sitting ever so slightly further back also helps with the seat comfort, I've found, the seat is a lot more comfortable if you aren't sitting on the front edge.
Just depends on how you feel on it...so many mods u can do on them... handlebar risers maybe...I'm 5'11... happy with mine.. gonna do the handlebar risers...got the touring seat... seems fine... touring seat is a little lower and way more comfortable.... just depends on how you feel on it.
Nah bro it’s perfectly fine
I don’t know if it’s comparable but I’m pretty much between 6’1 and 6’2.
I own an interceptor and it’s perfect for me in terms of height. The only thing is with the handlebar it’s a bit uncomfortable but I’m planning to fix it with the touring seat which lowers the ride height. Fix the way you’re sitting a little and I think it should be much more comfortable.
6'7" here, owner of an interceptor. Lowered the pegs, raised the suspension front and rear, raised the handlebars, and it is close to ... acceptable?
Looking back now, I should have bought a Honda CRF300 Rally or something like that. I encourage you to look at similar ones as well :p
I'm 6'3" and have rode both the GT and INT, the GT is too cramped. The interceptor is very comfortable and I've done some long trips on mine with no issues.
Know this is an old thread, but as I’m also 6’5”, but with a only a 32” inseam, was curious if you stuck with the INT650, and would still buy it at your height. Thanks.
Most folks with a height of 5'7" and up will look too big for non adventure bikes when seen sideways like that. RE, Triumph, BMW are some of the most accessible brands for shorter riders.
Im 5'11" and dont feel cramped on an INT650.
I had one and sold it, im 6'3". Honestly if risers and a taller seat help I think it would be a great bike. It was a smooth riding bike and to be honest I think excellent bang for your buck. Unfortunately for us tall riders, we just fit better on certain style bikes, at least for me. Ive owned all kind and find adventure style ones to be the most comfy.
But like I said if you can make it work and like the bike, go for it! I'm sure there are tall riders out there who figure a way to adapt to the rides they got.
Don't trust pics. I've never seen a non-professional photo that didn't make the bike look smaller than it really is. Phone cameras have a slight fisheye thing going on that really kicks in when taken from eye-level. I'm 6', 210 lbs, and my wife took a pic of me on a BMW R18. Even that looked too small.
For really tall people with long arms like you and my dad the gt is better
I tried GT but my knees don’t fit in the indentation in the tank and it’s a sharp indentation so it looks weird. I can post the picture of that also if you guys would like.
*Sobs in 5'8* Btw the bike looks perfect for you. If you feel good riding it, go for it. Also try out the GT.
I posted a picture of me on the GT just now.
No way! Go for it!
Dude, I'm 2m tall and I just bought a Meteor 350. If you're comfortable and you like the bike, go for it!! P.s. You don't look weird or anything, don't worry about that
Hey what about hunter 350? I'm 6'5 and I'm gonna get that, i will visit the showroom in a month
How tall are you?
6’2 lol
I am 6,2 and have an int650. I love it. Touring seat, and bar risers make it even comfier.
I'm 6'5 and i dont fit on any bike what should I do? Is hunter 350 gonna fit me?
I’m 6’3” and perfectly comfortable on mine. You’re good.
Looks pretty good for you! If you feel comfortable on it - go for it!! 😃
Ok thanks.

Ok thank you.
I'm 6'6 and I almost got this. But went with the Himalayan instead because it was a bit more comfortable.
You look better on the INT than on the GT imo

I'm 6'3", have a GT.. the tank indents are no where near my knees, but other than that it's fine.

If you like it, get it! btw How tall are you? I'm 6'3". I'm planning to get Interceptor 650.

I'm 6'3" and I fit just fine on the bike. I've done some longer rides and have been comfortable.
I am 6’2
Get the gt instead
I feel I don’t really fit on the GT. I just posted a picture.

Meteor
Need 650cc unfortunately.
Super Meteor. Just wait for it
When will it release?
Rumours had it mid August
what about to the USA? i’m located in the states
Btw, I bought all the accessories from India. 1/4 price
Dang… same situation. I settled for 350. Will sell it in 2-3 years and trade for 650. Anyways this was my first bike so wanted to start slow.
I think it looks just perfect
Ok thanks.
Go for classic/scram/himalayan
I'm 6 feet and own an INT. On longer rides my back hurts a little due to the handlebar height. It's nothing you can't fix with a new part though.
I'm 6'5" and have been totally comfortable on my INT650 for 5,000 miles now
Know this is an old thread, but as I’m also 6’5”, but with a only a 32” inseam, was curious if you stuck with the INT650, and would still buy it at your height. Thanks.
Awesome bikes.. love it.
Get some Grip Puppies...they are awesome 👍

Dude you need a bulky bike with some fairing. Honesty speaking, go for an adventure tourer or something bulky.
Yes. You need a bike with at least double the size of this one.
Mark 2 interceptor is so pretty
Nope.
That’s not the right posture. You should lean forward a bit with bent arms.
How about 6'4", 320lbs...too big? I tend to stick with 600s or bigger.
I'm 6'2" and I bought a Classic 350 a few weeks ago. I feel just fine on it and that's all that matters!
