a matter of aesthetics and the proportion of a tall driver and engine

[Lucius Vorenus]

Hello everyone, I'm 6'3" tall and drive a c400gt. I accidentally tried a c650gt and it seems a lot bigger, that is, I as a driver seem a lot smaller on it (like I'm riding a much bigger bike). How is that possible when it's not in generally much larger in dimensions than the c400gt??At the same time, it seems to me that the c 400gt has more legroom.

Here's an entertaining comparison.
If you pause at 3:13 and 8:24 I think you will instantly see why you have that impression of difference in size:

I need to go sit on a 650. I'm an inch shorter than you and in my mind's eye the 650 has more legroom. Appreciate you pointing this out.

The c400gt has a better vertical foot pad, the position to which you can lift your leg is higher compared to the 650.
