I'm 5ft 10 and manage the 955 Tigger fine when it's moving although I have to be careful at very low speeds.The forks have been pulled through the clamps 10mm and I run the rear preload just a touch too soft to get me a bit nearer the ground.I can flat foot the bike on one side if I lean over a bit otherwise it's toe ends so parking has to be done carefully.Looking at various marks and bent bits on the bike,a previous owner has let it lie down gently a couple of times,I have been lucky so far.To be honest I found my 94 900 Trophy worse for wanting to fall over,it was so top heavy.

There you go, being a 6'2" Yorkie does not guarantee not dropping the bike, then why let it bother you.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
