Bloody genetics! (or cigis) Im in the same boat, i can juuust ride my '98 cbr600f (800mm) seat. But getting a new bike in spring and i need a much sharper tool, i really want RR or maybe R6, but will need to get lowering kits, easy enough. The new hornet 600 has recieved great reviews low seat and would be bullet proof as an everyday sportsbike. And every1 always says "the new 696 monster is perfect for shorties" which looks like fun, but im not so keen paying big bike rego (over 600cc) for 20 less horsepower!!??
If any1 knows where i can find myself an immaculate low km, RVF400R in new zealand...

hornet 600 /900

I agree, the hornet 600/900 would be a good fit for the vertically challenged. I had a 600 it felt really low to the ground. Still, didn't really think much of the bike though.

Im 5'5 and I had a CBR 250R, im now on a VFR400 NC30 and im on the balls of both of my feet, it feels weird as but you get used to it, Hornet 600 is about 5mm higher, go with the Horny.
