My ol’ Ninja 250R was extremely tight for me at first. I’m 6’4″ with a 35-36″ inseam. I bought $140 adjustable footpegs (allowed me to lower the pegs) and all was well.
I would highly recommend looking at the supermoto (e.g., Suzuki DR-Z400sm, Yamaha WR250x, etc.) option as well. You can get lighter, easier to ride, and zippier bikes that will be more comfortable for somebody with your height. If you don’t dig the supermoto look, that’s totally cool and your call, but don’t overlook them otherwise.
