I am 6'4 230 and 35"-36" inseam. I ride my wifes bike sometimes. It is ok, I sit more upright than most other 250 riders. There is plenty of room just don't let your lower limbs fall asleep. Longest I have been on the 250 at one time is 1.5 hours and 70-80 miles, lots of back woods riding. It is a fun bike, If it is just for you look for a stronger rear spring and better to your weight front springs. I was worried about pulling a few bigger hills but it pulled at 60mph+ in 6th gear just fine.

If you are getting it just for the fun factor or to save gas it is great! If you are getting it to daily drive (only thing you own) look for a little bigger bike. Even the new style seems to have more room then the older.
