WOMEN Riders less than 5' 3" in here please

[smileyman]

I made my wife prove she was serious about having her own bike by learning on my YZF600R. It was 488 lbs although it only had a 32 in seat height. Then I showed her I loved her by riding on the pillion giving her alot more weight to juggle. After that she handles the little 250 just fine!

My friend is 5' and also rides an R6s which was lowered 2" for her. She has not shaved the seat.

I love them shaved too but i am not sure if I ever saw a woman that had to shave her seat

My street bike is a Honda SuperHawk, it's lowered without links - Louie did it on one of our trips after I dropped it in a gas station. I can tip toe it but have ridden enough now that it's not an issue. I started riding on a VFR800 that I couldn't even tip toe - I could touch one side with a butt slide. It comes down to what she's comfortable with. Good luck!

26" inseam? wow. You would be the perfect sportbike pillion companion!
