I just returned from 2 weeks riding the Rocky Mountains on a Honda F6B. I saw millions of Harley tourers. However, I spoke with several owners, including one at 14,115 feet atop Pikes Peak. He was on his way to Alaska. I am very interested in moving to a Super Ten, but I have one concern: I am 6'5". Are there any tall riders out there who are comfortable on this bike??? Very interested in any input.

This bike is very well suited for tall riders. I am a little over 6'2" and have yet to find a more comfortable bike. In my case it did require a seat change but that is easy enough.

Greetings from Malta and welcome to the forum.
I'm 6'1" and just manage with the seat in the lower position.

Hello from New York.
Although I am not as tall as you, I am 6'2" 230lbs and I can honestly tell you this is the most comfortable bike I have ever owned.
Just picked up my '13 S10 used in late June and enjoying every aspect of it.

6'3" 297lbs It depends on how long your inseam is actually, i have a little shorter 32" inseam for my height longer torso.
You have long legs need a little height in the seat to get a good leg position.
Other than that i fit just right, My Triumph Tiger 1050 was about the same.
Take up Jeff's offer and try his bike in the high position.
You may like it.
Love Goldwings but not the 1800 models.
They tend to be built for shorter Pilots/Weeble's.
Even with a higher seat i was disappointed, nothing like my old 1100GL.
My friend came up with the name Weeble's because the smaller Wing riders and passengers with all that bright (see me?) gear load on look like the old Weeble's Wobble but they don't fall down toy.
No bike is the perfect bike, but this one convinced me it's close enough out of many bikes I've owned.
It has just enough of does what you need and feel and comfortable just enough to put a smile on your face and without the same Quad cylinder Ho Hum.
Sort of like a Triple.
It's no Goldwing but it will go places the Wing wont and with much more easy access to maintenance locations.
Air filter under the tank not buried under the front dashboard, 40 minutes compared to two+ hours like my friends 2013 Wing we did.
It's like a Jeep on two wheels IMO.

6'3" 250lbs / 33 inseam. Bike fits me great. Plenty of leg room (even with a bad knee) and easy to flat-foot. It's actually a little more comfortable seating position for longer rides than my HD Road King (the seating position seems to actually take some pressure off my knee).
