You need to talk to BigDaddy331 about the fit of a DS650.

Same here....... 6' 3" at 230. No other sport quad on the market was comfortable for me. I tried the DS and was instantly sold on the fit and comfort.

Good luck with your purchase.

I'm 6'2/235lbs, and i absolutely love my DS. You won't find an ATV that has the stability and ride comfort of a DS. It has an awesome "Cockpit" feel to it. The bars are tall, the tank hugs you just right, the seat is real thick. The suspension, no one comes close to a DS in these areas. It's a tad bit heavy, but for our size, it's almost perfect. The extra weight, i think, helps the bike to use the suspension better, instead of a light bike just jerkin' you around. Dude, just take one for a spin and jump it high. You'll buy it.

6'3" and 225, Fits great and feels even better if you get slightly wider bars.

I'm 6'-5" and 240 lbs. and I would'nt have any other machine after riding my DS. (Unless I was looking for a KFX-Couch to cruise down the trails on.)

I'm 6' 1", 275lbs.....The DS fits me like a glove. If you'd like an opinion of someone who's had a 'Zilla, then I can help. I loved my '88...the power, etc.... The DS is, IMO, an overall better bike....the handeling, and suspension are just sooooo much better...the power is good, and with a few mods excellent. You can ride all day and not get beat up, or worn out.....
