i'm 6 foot 1" and the bike seems fine for me, although I was riding a GPX250 before my MT-09.
there's lots of room to move back and forwards on the MT-09 seat, if you go right forwards it feels smaller but I think that's how its meant to feel. it feels a bit like a dirt bike there and gives you lots of confidence.

In about 1.85 meters (do the math 
. The bike isn't big, but I find it very comfortable.
The one small thing that bothers me a bit, is that my left heel touches the rear swingarm (big feet) once when I was really crouched almost standing on my toes my heel got slightly jammed under the rear passenger foot peg...

No Problem !!!
I had the same question. I'm 19.3 and was worried until I took one for a test ride, For some reason It works for a tall guy, still don't understand it, yes you can move fwd and back on the seat but most of all you seem to fit into the bike it's self under the tank.

183cm tall and felt too cramped to be able to stand riding it for long.
I often go for 500 kilometre rides and I reckon I'd be cramping at 200. Definitely worth looking at the Yamaha Accessories catalog as they have adjustable pegs/levers listed

There are adjustable pegs to allow for (I believe) 1cm extension. But that may not be enough for us over 180cm on long hauls.
But judjing from the way the subframe is mounted, customizers may be able to fabricate a taller subframe or seat.

Spent more time ot the MT now, if your tall and ride with the arch of you foot on the pegs you will be dragging your toes quite easily if you get aggressive in the corners.
Other that that, quite comfortable on short journeys, deffinately be thinking about comfort seat for longer rides.
