I am 6" and 250, fine for me. Best thing is to go test drive one. Max weight is 440 lbs i think it was. And have fun!
I would suggest you add the 2UP rear spring and max out the preload on the rear spring. You won't be able to have a passenger over 90 pounds, but the 2UP spring will help with your size to keep from bottoming out on the fender when hitting bumps. I'm small (130lbs) and I was surprised how much it sunk with a 100lb passenger (total 230lbs).Quote:

But I do have some doubts that the ryker is the right ryde for you. From what I have read the ryker is a fun around town and on back roads machine, and while it will do highway miles just fine its probably not nearly as competent or comfortable as a spyder is at that particular job. Since you are commuting 70 miles I would search for a used spyder instead.
Ride them. All of them, then decide. There are incredible deals on left overs. Factor in a windshield, bags, a saddle (Ryker saddles are not for big guys) and decide. The Ryker is best suited for in town. Some people have toured on one, but I think you will appreciate the 1330 engine. Happy hunting! Joe
I bought a 2016 Spyder RT with 18k for 14k today black.... The Ryker 900 is just to small for me
Congrats on the new ryde.
CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW RIDE.....your serious. yesterday at 7:39pm,questions...…….. then today at 7:20pm, your an owner
Listen very thoughtfully to Joe Meyer.
