6 ft here (not tall but just thought I'd share anyway). 31" inseam. Bike fits perfect. Stock seat.

Apparently I have long legs for being 6' tall.

36" for me, had to lower the pegs. Eventually I got a taller saddle too, may not need the pegs now. Had to lower the pegs on the Griso too.

I was looking at the V7 (still am), a very tall senior rider from the Seattle area keeps swapping out between the Griso and V7 and rides LONG distances on the stock seat and no windscreen (he did add on rear sets on his new V7II). Amazing. Rides like a scalded dog too and has 19 years on me. Anyway, I ended up with the CB because it fit me better than the V7.

A 36" inseam is nearly 10" longer than mine. You would have to be folded up.

Ditto. The Tiro seat made this the most comfortable motorcycle I've ever owned.

Either that or I have short legs!
