Tall rider...PCX or SH150?

I've heard the PCX is a bit cramped for taller riders. Thoughts? I'm 6'5. Supposedly the SH150 is a bit more comfy if you modify the seat.

I'm 6 5 too. Don't have a huge problem with the size of the bike

Might modify the seat in the fullness of time

Lots of people have performed "humpectomies" to give themselves more room from feeling cramped. It's not difficult to do, although I'm struggling to find any threads showing how people did it.

Basically, you remove the seat, remove the hump, dremel out the area where the hump mounted from behind, then recover adding extra padding if you want it.

Here is the offending plastic that should be cut out:

And here is seat without the hump:

I got a local marine/auto trim shop to do it for $100 as I am 6'4"
