Too big for the driving school motorcycle?

Hello, I've signed up at the driving school for a class A driver's license. The driving instructor looked at me pityingly and asked how tall I was. I answered truthfully that I was 2 meters. He then asked me if I already had my own motorcycle, as the driving school bikes were more suitable for short people since they have more short people than tall students. He also said that I'll probably have problems with walking speed given my height and the small motorcycle. So now I'm wondering if I'll really have problems with walking speed. Can anyone speak from experience? It's making me a bit nervous.

At 1.96m I found my driving school vehicle, an ER6, also as compact but still tolerable. However, I had already rehearsed before, and then it was "going – isn't for all eternity" and somehow I slipped into a suitable seat position.

I don't know how it compares with your driving school machine, but much smaller it shouldn't be for me anymore.

Step speed and slalom at speed were not a problem.

I'm 1.96

Two months ago I had my A driving license and had to drive to the Z650. It was also absolutely inappropriate for me, after that, I always hurt everything and looked really shit, but still managed.

So you're packing

Try it out, otherwise change to the emergency the driving school. I am good 194cm tall and this limits the choice of motorcycles that you can drive comfortably, of course. But I did my exam on a Kawasaki EL 250 and I did. As long as your knees don't hit the handlebar, it's kind of going for the few hours. Don't let it get discouraged. If you don't go, see if you can change the driving school.

Hi.

Maybe the z750. Where the half-naked 4 cylinders are really good for big people, that would have to be if they were to fit.
