I'd like something like Ebbs has, since I know I cant afford the BMW currently, butI'd definitely need it shortened.

Eh, I would go with something more highway worthy where you are at. Something you can use on street and enjoy.

My KLR actually lets me get the balls of my feet on the ground, you might be able to touch a toe

Good luck with that. Hubby just got a DRZ and I can't even touch well enough to sit it upright (off the kick stand)... I think I'm your height or a little taller (5'5"). He can barely touch but with his weight he compresses the suspension enough that he can. I don't think it moved when I got on.
