Hah I hear this :)  

I'm 6'4" myself, but "all torso".  I wear 32/33" length pants, but I can easily "double flatfoot" the Tracer with the seat in the high position.  

Also, let’s keep in mind that not all leg inseam works the same on a motorcycle. For example, Uma Thurman and Earl Campbell may have the same* inseam, and while she’ll happily flatfoot both feet, Campbell’s hamhock thighs means that they spread out much further from the seat, and there’s no way he’ll touch the ground even with one foot, without significantly leaning the bike over.

 

 

*I actually have no idea if they have the same inseam, but the example stands, so just pretend they do.
