I'm 6'2 and my little bike is actually quite comfortable. I spent 3 hours on it the other day without complaints. I'll be replacing it once I get my full license though. Just using this one to get experience/cheaper insurance.
Just curious can you bolt oem ruckus parts on your clone without fitment issues?

Well I bought a bike... 2006 CBR 1000RR, Need some work but based off the price I should be able to fix her up right and still have a good deal, Atleast that's the plan, It has no side fairings, sprocket and chain need replaced, needs brake pads, and that's about it. Starts up and runs and drives, motor sounds perfect when running, sounds good and strong. Here's a pic of how it's sitting atm, It has a 6-9 stretch, a lowering link, M4 full exhaust, (From what I seen that setup is like $1100) Clean title, 18,000 miles on the bike.
I will be ordering a chain and sprocket kit, giving the bike a hell of a clean, order new brake pads, a battery, Pull off all the maroon stuff and repaint everything back to black. Either going to order a full fairing kit (Have to do research on where to buy fairings I don't want crappy plastic that will just crack and stuff) He has fairings that are damaged I'm going to try to fix them and repaint them first. Here's a pic of it, Only one I got atm. I paid $2100 for it btw.

It's in pretty beat and worn condition, I'm going to pull the wheels off, Painting them black (Will powdercoat later), New chain/sprocket, EBC HH brake pads, New battery, oil change, Should have a bit under $2500 into it and be in riding condition, Minus fairings, I'm going to try to fix the old fairings hopefully I can. I been doing research on chain and sprocket i'll google moto mummy now, I have them liked on facebook from when I had a f4i a year ago. I was told I need a 150 link chain with the 9 inch stretch. Hoping this is a good purchase, I know for 4500-5500 I could have bought a great condition ready to ride 1000rr. Hoping I can end up with $3500 in this max and have a 4-5k bike.
Edit: Motomummy has good prices on their chain/sprocket kits too, Driven Evo-Spec superlight steel chain kit with est tech, 169$ - $205 depending on which chain, Which chain do you suggest? I heard a ton about DID ERV3 which would be my choice as much as I've heard about them but that was 2 years ago when I was researching bike stuff Idk what's been updated since then. They got RK GXW, EK MVXZ, EK 3D, EK ZZZ, DID ERV3 as the choices, They don't have a selection for chain lengths though I guess i'd have to give them a call, I'd need a 150 link chain with the stretch. Think i'd go -1 +2 also on sprocket sizes, That's what my brother has, His 06 1000rr would tear up bmw s1000rr's like nothing and he has exhaust, power commander, and chain/sprocket kit

I got the ek mvxz! Should Not add any price for that chain. But the DID are great too!
