I'm 6' 3" and used to be 17.5 stone (been dieting so lost a bit of weight but still as tall!) Beer belly gets in the way a bit.

I've had ST4 and ST4S and used to think i was too big for a 996. Finally bit the bullet and bought a 996 this year and have no regrets at all. Have also used it for a 2000 mile in a week trip abroad with no probs other than kness getting a bit cramped at end of the day. Higher screen works wonders if you're tall, and my bike also has helibars fitted which makes the riding position far more comfortable (this is more because i've got a well knackered wrist).

Wish i'd bought a 916/996 years ago.
