Can't see a tiger turning down a bit of fat. Should be a good match!

When I got my Tiger, they ran my body mass index. Be careful. I'm 6'2" 225 lbs, they told me if I weighed 12 pounds more they wouldn't have sold me the bike. I'd have had to buy a Goldwing.

Nope, I don't imagine Tigers like "crap". They like fat....  BTW - I wouldn't believe anything Jimmy says....just look at his occupation.....

I rember years ago, there was a fella here in town who bought a newer 900 Kaw. He weighed over 400 lbs. Made the bike look like a mini-bike.

No, you would fit on a Tiger just fine. You would have to buy a whole new set of riding gear, though. Matching textile stuff, no leather chaps allowed unless it's the racing type leather suit like Greg's.

Psst, Ed rides one and I'm pretty sure he may weigh a stone or two more then you Yota.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

I've let a friend who weighs in at about 285 ride my Tiger. He doesn't look out of place and though he's a Harley guy, he said it was the most comfortable bike he'd ever ridden (of course, he'd ridden nothing but Harleys).
Seriously, ride what you like. I rode with 2 brothers who were about 5'9" and 320 lbs. One rode a CBR 600RR and the other rode an Interceptor. Sure from behind they looked like they were wearing mechanical thongs, but they had fun.
Don't worry about it.
