Is an xr650l a good motorcycle for me? I have never ridden a motorcycle before and I'm 5'8. I've heard other people say that the saddle is too high. Would that be a problem?

Bump, I'm 5'8 with a 30 inch inseam and work boots that add an inch to my height. I want an XR650L for commuting purposes and wheelies.

My african american. I never found any interest in wheelies though. I don't even know how to do that on a bike.

I wouldn't recommend it.
Accerding to cycle ergo the KLR and Vstrom are better options.
Look for upcoming motorcycle shows. Dealers often put out inventory for people to sit on.

Well not the op but will ys are on my.list of this game to learn. Did a stoppie once on accident might have been fun if I was trying to do it on purpose

DR650 is basically the same, it fits manlets alot better tho. Great begginer bikes and absolutely willie machines. 10/10 would recommend.
The Place Beyond the Pines was a dope movie. It really made me question Netflix's algorithm. It is on netflix, but they never recommended it to me? I've watched plenty of Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, and Ray Liota movies. And I watch a lot of crime movies. How the fuck did they never recommend it to me?
For your first time on a bike I really would NOT recommend starting on an engine larger than a 250, nonetheless on a tall bike

I'm around 5'10 and have an xr400, I can touch with both feet but without either being fully planted. You could probably pull it off but you may have to shave the seat or get a lowering link to make it more comfortable.
I'm 6ft and I can flat foot both feet on my friends xr650l. It has a 2 inch lowering link on it. He's 6'6, I'm surprised he hasn't taken it off yet. I guess I ride it more than he does for some reason.
I'd buy it from him if I wasn't repairing things because he drops it all the goddamn time.
