New bike

Hi welcome to the forum, sorry can not help on the Trophy v Pan but being 6' 3" I understand the need for the right bike: I just fit on a Speed Triple

 

I'm 6'2" and 16 stone and find most bikes too small so I ended up with a Ducati Multistrada 1200s until recently sold I now have a Triumph Explorer which I find very comfortable and my legs reach the ground OK.
The seats adjustable too so that helps too.
Worth a try if you can afford one, there are a few second hand ones about!

 

That's a coincidence I chopped my Ducati Multistrada 1200S touring in for a Triumph. Test rode the Explorer but in the end went the slightly more sporty way with the Speed Triple which I now have rigged up with sw motect panniers and tank bag. Loved riding the Multistrada but the reliability and warranty issues were a nightmare hence getting rid! Sorry for slightly high jacking the thread.

 

No worries! What cemented it for me was on the day I sold the bike I had a recall email! That was about 6 plus the fork seals going a week before it went costing me £160.

The Triumph explorer has a great engine although still running it in. Not even had its first service yet!...
Looking forward to the forum getting busy...

 

My father is 6ft 2 15 or 16stone, he had lots of bikes in the past, the triumph speed triple or a yamaha R1 as he has a 2007 model which fits him perfectly haha, I'm glad i'm 5ft 10 so i can fit any bikes :biggrin: The test riders are midgets! :wink:

 

I'm 6ft 2, near on 17 stone and the speed triple is perfect for me, I admit if I lost a stone or two it might be even more fun, but it's no slouch when I ride it and its grin factor all the way, rode it to Austria and back last year and will be doing it again this year, only difference being a tail rack for this year so I have more room for my ass on the seat...
