Nope, you are too to tall. You are 4" taller than I am and I'm on an L.

And by the way, 191cm is 6' 3" not 6' 2".

Have a look at the Bombtrack Beyond, it's a nice bike.

Go to the geometry page for the Salsa Fargo. Look at the stack and reach dimensions.

Compare them with the stack and reach dimensions for other bikes. You will see that the Fargo is higher and has a shorter reach.

And you'll see that the XL Fargo is significantly higher than the L.

I'll think i stick to my road bike for now and wait for the 2017 models to arrive.

Can the Fargo be configured to have the bar higher than the seat?

It pretty much already is - at least it's level.  Depending on frame size and how far out you have to extend the seat post will effect this.  Go with a larger frame, keep the seat down = less bending over, but that may not be the best fit for you.

I have ordered the XL so i can't go bigger than that, and most likely getting a bike fit once i get it.
