WOMEN Riders less than 5' 3" in here please
Ok ladies, post your height, what bike you ride, inseam, and how much you had to lower your please. I'm looking for some points of reference I can use with my height challenged wife.
Thanks Thomas |
Good idea....I'm looking for a little lady :dthumb:
|
her height isn't so much important as her inseam.
I am 5'6, and have a 34 inch inseam. Never had to lower a bike,ever. |

I'm 5'3" with a 31 inch inseam...my Cbr600rr I had lowered 1.5 inches until I could one foot it, but currently ride a gsxr600 at stock heighth.
My best friend is 5' with short legs, same bike lowered 2", (which I don't reccommend due to handling) but it can be done. Since she doesn't know any different it doesn't matter to her, either on street or the track. Depending on your wifes skill level, and the specifics you want, you may or may not want to lower a bike. |
Spinner?

She has a Ninja 500 right now, she's not into extreme lean angles or very spirited riding at extreme speeds on the street, and I doubt she will ever do track days but then again you never know.

I can't stand the thought of lowering a bike, having ridden them it makes me shudder at the loss of performance, small tho it may be! My friend had the 250 and got links to lower it and it met her needs. I'd try that, then when she is comfortable, take it back to stock if she wants. |
