6'1" rider on a fiddy?

Hey all, is anyone in the 6'1" range riding a fiddy? I'm thinking of picking one up to keep my F4 company. I need to know is it just way to small for someone my height or will it be fine. By the way I'm about 175lbs. I haven't had the chance to go sit on one or ride one so I was hoping for some advice. Thanks.

I am 6' and it isn't comfortable stock. Add bar kit, stiff springs, and a pit king lift kit and it feels like you are riding a 70 instead of a fiddy. I also added a 39 tooth rear sprocket.

Definitely need a stiffer rear spring and some taller bars. It's fun though, gotta practice those whoolies.

If you are tall and trying to stick your leg between your arms, stop. Try taking your left hand off the bar and putting your leg over. That's the only way I can do it.
