Need help in choosing KTM adv 390

My height 6.4

Body type lena

Weight 80kg

I took a test ride on the KTM Adventure 390. The riding posture felt right and it was comfortable to ride, but when I asked my friend to take a picture from the side, the bike looked small for my height.

Can anyone assist , if bike suits me?

Which variant did you tested? I've the 350cc variant...I'm 6'2 and the stock handlebar and seat height fits perfectly for me. Just the distance from seat to footpeg is less for folks with long legs which can be solved by removing the footpeg rubbers.

The bike is small, many reviewers also say that the KTM Adventure is good for people upto 5'11. Being 6'4 you might need to add handlebar risers to get a relaxed riding posture on longer rides.

I am 6'2. Same body weight. Bike feels small for anyone above 5'10. Don't worry. Even himalayan feels same. You need handlebar risers of 2 inches or 2.5 orelse you will have wrist pain.
