Met a lady a while back that rode a Ducati 9??. She was short. So short in fact that not only could she not touch the floor when sat on the bike, but she'd also dropped the bike several times in the few weeks that she'd owned it while attempting to remain stationary at lights, on her drive, and in a petrol station forecourt.
Her reason for buying the bike - her ex-husband always wanted a 9??, so she thought it would be a real piss take to buy one out her share of the divorce settlement.![]()

No disrespect to the vertically-challenged, wafer-thin brigade [of EITHER gender] intended .. but personally i think its just plain daft to get yourself something your height, reach and mass aren't compatible with.
I mean, there are enuff challenges on the road already, it's a survival thingy ...............why handicap yourself from the outset??

I am vertically challenged and used to be skinny. now five ft 4 and 70kgs ready to ride. All of the road bikes I have had Ive only been able to get one foot on the ground at once, and been very careful at slow speed. From memory ZX750s and CB750s (the proper ones, none of this DOHC malarkey) are over 200kg dry. I just had to be aware of it really and plan accordingly.
Im not sure on a modern bike that you HAVE to be a big lump to operate the controls but the big issue for small people is seat to ground height, seat to footpeg height and seat to bar length.
the most comfortable bike I have sat on in years is the CB400/4 I picked up tonight. Instantly felt at home, and nimble and flickable is good. Its a keeper.
also putting $16 worth of gas in it to brim it, and the meter from the fill before me was $143.95. Some big SUV. chatting to the servo guy, he said SUV guy was NOT HAPPY....
If the size of the bike actually mattered then no-one would ride goldwings.

I think its just up to the individual to what bike they ride. If they want to buy a bike that border lines or exceeds their limitations, thats their fault and they have to live with the consequences
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
