I am an inch shorter than you at 6'3" with a 36" inseam.  I hated riding the stock savage for more than an hour at a time. I would often pop up on the queen seat for parts of my commute home.  It's a cruiser, not a touring bike.  

If I take the freeway to work it's 35 minutes and nothing bothered me.  Riding the back roads home would take 55 minutes and I was ready to get off the bike after 50 minutes.  

I purchased the bike with the intent to build into a cafe or scrambler type bike (it ended up UJM or a "standard") and while I find it to be much more comfortable, I still get tired of riding after a little more than an hour of riding.  So maybe it's me more than the bike.  I just need to stand up and stretch my legs.

In stock form, for someone your size, I would look at as a great little bike to do short commutes, run errands, and use to "hop" around from place to place.  It's not an interstate machine.

You could do forward control extensions and some mild seat mods, and while these mods are good for making shorter people comfy on the bike, I'm not convinced they will make the bike fully comfortable for guys our size on longer rides.

It's a great bike if it suits you needs, just don't expect it to be something it's not.

Its more about your purpose of buying a bike!
Im 176 cm/69 inches and a senior 65+, and use the bike for fun.
In any case this bike is a sort of cruiser bike.. kind of a half HD type of bike.

In any way, its a menance to ride any bike for a longer time, anyhow!
And that goes for sportbikes to, and I have experiens of Suzuki two strokers and Honda four strokers.

And the bike will handle like dog nuts.  The PO of my bike had it set up that way.  The worst handling motorcycle I have ever ridden.  I put some lower super bars and it was good.  I still hated the forward controls though.  But others are happy with them and that's good.  We are all different.

Anyway, I have a feeling the OP moved on after his second post here.

I'm still reading the replies,thank you all.

Zepp,how tall are you?

That's a good question.  I've never been into cruzers but I have ridden friends' HD 883 (small like the Savage), HD Fatboy (much larger), HD Ultra Classic (better than the fatboy in every way), and a 95 Honda 650 Shadow (I think it was similar to the Savage??).  I've also ridden several crotch rockets.

I have owned a 73 Suzuki T500 (standard UJM), 71 Triumph TR6 Tiger (british standard), 96 Suzuki Savage (stock for a year), 96 Custom Savage (standard UJM), 2006 Suzuki S40 (still stock...for now), and a crapload of motocross bikes from the mid 70s to 2010s.  

Ultimately, I prefer standard bikes with flat seats and mid control pegs.  I find they are easier to move around on.  I also like the option of standing up if I decide to jump something (kidding...mostly) and I feel like I might have a chance if I ever found myself about to hit something like the side of a car.  

That's what I like.  I'm not claiming it's best for anyone else.

Okey.. Im Swedish.. 176 cm.. my converter says 5 feet and 9.2913 inches, so pardon me for the other ones.
So im not a big guy, not the shortest eighter.
And I like the low seat hight on my Savage, no problems at a stand still.
In any case, it suites me.. I have to get used to the riding position at first, lening backward and straight arms, the fotpegs in front, its a custom/cruiser, it supose to be that way.

And then to the topic of big guys.. its more of how long arms and legs, to be in a comfortable riding position.
In any way, I have tryed it on the higway, it did fine, but it put som strain to my arms.

But that goes even to a sportbike that dont rides on higway speed, one lean on the arms.

In any case.. if one ride a lot on higways, one can always put on a windscren of som sort, if one have very long arms, one can always put on a dragbike bar.
And if one have very long legs.. I dont know if there is any fot pegs extender for this bike?

I se a lot of used bikes.. even Harleys that got extended fotpegs.. I think this is mostly becuse of the style.

Its often more for the style, dragbars and extended fotpegs?

To that, S40 have a dragbar.. but I think that they put the handels at the same position as the cowbar at Savage?

Soo, again, what kind of biking do you think you gonna do?

All wheater comuting, som part of it on higway, put on a windscreen.
If you got friends that have sportbikes or touring bikes, then you probably want the like?

If you is a newbi, Savage/S40 is a cheep beginners bike, low cost, low maintance.. and if you hasitate or got some new biker friends that use other type of bikes.. you can always sell it and buy another type of bike.

Its only this.. if you get a Savage/S40.. you sholuld always  be befor the Harleys if you ride !
