Ok, been looking for a S3T for a long time and have found "the one" however Ive never even so far as sat on one. "The one"99 S3T Im going to hopefully swing a deal on is a long ways away, Im getting cold sweats thinking at 6'2" and a 36 inseam Im not gonna fit worth a shite. I hate to drive 12 hours to come home empty handed.
Help

You should'nt have a problem, taller blokes fit them, ask Joesbuell he's at least 6'4

6'4" here, S2 with "T" drop pegs and taller bars, fits perfect.

6'7" with 37" inseam.

The S3 and M2 models have slightly lower pegs than X1 and S1 and that makes a big difference.

My 2001 S3T fits great!

I also have a 2002 M2 with the same seat-peg-handlebar relationships and that bike has a Forcewinder intake that gives me even better knee room on the right side.

These are comfortable bikes for tall people.
