My height is 5'4", am I too short to ride a sport bike? You might be short but that's ok there is a number of things to do. I love sport bikes. I taught my girlfriend how to ride and she is short. You can shave the seat down and use a gel pack instead so you still have comfort. Depending on the bike you can also lower the springs a few inches. Wear a shoe with a bigger heal to help you touch the ground. The ninja 500 is a nice sport bike to do this to. I have also seen girls ride GSX'rs at the track that are your height and they use the high heel boot. My GF at first wanted to make sure she could ride a sport bike but would not purchase one without sitting on one that was lowered etc.. Just trust me on it you can find a bike to work for you. Hope this helps. check with the police, just to be safe. also, verify with local regulations. then, make the decision. ---hope it helps... well, no, but you will need great balance, specialised riding techniques (for example, you might need to slide off the seat to get a foot on the ground at traffic lights), and you may need to modify the seat height on the bike. but, if you really want to, you will manage it. jockeys shorter than you can ride great big racehorses, after all peace, and good luck fifteen years riding experience, and a thoughtful nature lol If you can't touch the ground flat-footed on both sides of the bike then it's too tall for you. Just my opinion. Most sports bikes are designed to live high off the ground. If you're determined, try to find a good riding school and buy one that fits you safely. Hope this helps. Jason Disalvo AMA pro is about 4-11 if hes lucky I think you will be ok |
