I'm 6 foot and the TTR is perfectly OK for me.

In fact I put a lowering link on to give me a bit more confidence mountain riding in S Ireland wink

I am 5-11 also. Can usually only have 1 foot solid on ground, the other is on tip. You are the perfect height for a TTR!

I am 6'3" and I count my lucky stars that I am, cos getting your leg over a TTR in a rutted lane when you are tired, lets say can require a particular technique.

Especially when the bike is pointing downhill and you want to mount it without pushing it over or dropping it.

I'm 6' 1" and i am fine on it, in fact being taller helps on the off road side
of it as you can get the legs down to the ground when the going gets dodgy!
