This is my uncles 49 Panhead, it has a jockey shift and suicide clutch. It's a beast to ride but one sweet looking bike.

Really, it doesn't look that big at all. very sharp looking though.

I am 6'4" 250# and the little intercepter sport bike felt considerably smaller than this thing. That's with all the saddle bags on it and sitting on it's stand (the ST1300) The interceptor was just on its kick stand. It is a good bit wider, not much longer, seat height is about the same but the weight is 180# greater. I told the salesman the last bike I looked at was the 84 V45 Sabre, he said, "oh my" it has been a long time. He then proceded to tell me about classes.

Classes for what ? you have your licence, right ? i know my bike has an adjustable ride height, which is perfect for a tall person. i myself am only 5'10 and i can adjust it just right for me. so i would difinently look for a bike that will fit you comfortably. being tall you'll want to get a bike that sits higher, so your knee's aren't up to your chin. LOL AS FAR AS HEIGHT , MOST BIKES ARE BALANCED PRETTY GOOD

My only experience riding was trail riding on my college roomate's Yamaha 175 Enduro in 1980.
