its 36. remember approximately bedmas. B=bracets E=exponents D=branch M=multiplication A=addition S=substract while doing an equation you're able to do it in that order. So shall we do what's insinde the bracket. its 6-7+4. 6-7 is -a million, so now its -a million+4, that's 3. Now the equation could look something like this: 12/2 *3*2. 12 divided by ability of two is 6, so its 6*3*2. 6*3= 18 and 18*2= 36. the respond is 36.

well first let me start of by saying that Harley's are well proven to be underpowered, overweight, unreliable, uncomfortable, overpriced, no class junk. But lets set that aside and focus on the more important things. I'm 6'5 and can ride almost anything with very minor modifications. I mainly ride a Kawasaki zx-14 and the only modifications I have made are 1 inch bar risers and a raised windscreen for a total cost of about 200$. I also have a Kawasaki KLR 650 which I fit on fine with no modifications at all. If you really want a cruiser though I'd reccomend the triumph rocket 3 which I have test driven in the past and had room to spare.

It depends on the style of riding you like, or think you'd like. A cruiser, ala a Harley, might suit you well, but a "tall" performance bike might be just the ticket. Sport bikes (the so-called crotch rockets) tend to be higher in the saddle than cruisers. My personal preference is a sport touring bike, which has a slightly higher shoulder position while maintaining the performance capabilities of a sport bike. At 6'7", you could certainly handle the highest seating position of a GT bike, such as a Ducati Multistrada or a Triumph Tiger. Both bikes are fabulous performers, handle magnificently, and have plenty of legroom in their egronomics. My wife has a Tiger, and though it's not my cup of tea, I have to admit that it is a fabulous bike.

I'm also 6'7" and 265 lbs. I ride a Harley Lowrider and have no problems. Forward controls help a lot. You can get longer brackets that set them forward about 3 in. to give you even more room. For handle bars try a set ot drag bars or change the risers to short straight ones. Tall ape hangers would also work. Besides....You'll never be happy until you own a Harley.Good Luck.

Definately custom made, spine to arm ratio, spine to buttocks ratio, buttocks to knee ratio - claspability ----knee to God help me! Sorry , can't take any more! Hope you get the ride of your life. My eldest brother had a BSA750 despatch riders (ex army) bike in the 1970's and that was the best bike i ever rode, fantastic manoeuverability, suspension like a feather bed and it went forever for nothing compared with todays bikes. He also had a Francis Barnett 250cc which i rode regularly as it was considered more of a ladies bike by most but not by me as i could beat him and his friends on a long stretch by gunning the Franny from the start whereas their bikes would either have stalled or flooded at that stage!
It's all about knowing what you have between your legs and the response you need to have to get to where you want to go.

Suzuki DRZ400 has about a 37 inch seat. The handel bars are adjustable so you could move them forward. Being an on/off road bike you could try out both worlds. Harley's are way overrated, someday the bottom will fall out of them like Benny Babies.

Harley's Deuce with extended forward controls is about as long a bike as you will find, check it out.

Really most of Harley's FX models, FXR, FX ST, FXD , with forwards and the right set of bars would be perfectly comfortable.

KTM LC4 Adventure R/Duke, though most bikes have unlimited headroom, it is possible to buy extended screens for many sports bikes.

You don't want to go with a crotch rocket - You need a well made machine..I would not suggest some of the older bikes that are restored, maybe new Harley. You could try BMW but I wouldn't.

Harley Davidson '57 Panhead. You'll look great and ride in comfort. Happy riding!
