Hey, I weigh in at 285 and 6'1". I lift weights. the only problem I have is that the stock steering wheel hits my left leg when I let out of the clutch. Bought a smaller dia. steering wheel and have no prob.

5' 11" and 185 here... I fit very nicely in my R1. The only slight complaint is that I wish the steering wheel was raised up about 1/2 inch more above my legs...

What wheel and what size is it? And what is the size of the stock wheel?

I'm 5' 11", 175. I fit fine. The guy I bought it from was 6' 3" and around 220. It looked painfull watching him get in and out of the car. He had the seat all the way back, and then reclined to what looked like a very uncomfortable position One of the reasons he sold it was the poor fit.

Why don't you try to get in one and see what happens?

I am 5'-11", 210lbs and don't seem to have any problems fitting into the car. The only complaint I do have is if I am wearing a baseball hat the peak hits the roof sometimes, but I also have this problem in my 240SX.
