Short arsed ride

[skidMark]

I have mate who is exactly that size, she rides a kwak smoker. Was very cute when she sat on the fireblade, hehe

KR150, RG150, FXR150 will do. GN250 will do aswell. Like frosty suggested, Scorpio would be a good option too (would be my pick of the bunch cause it has a boot start )

Ahhh all the ones you listed above except the GN250 has kick start tooooooo

Yamaha Zeals have afairly low seat height.

my zxr250c rides very low

Gn250 will be a good start...light and does more than 100km/h...

Does anyone have any advice on a bike for my partner?

She is somewhat vertically challenged, bless her heart, and we're looking for a bike for her to ride on our weekend rides.

I was thinking of a Yamaha Virago or similar but if any one with personal experience in finding a bike suitable for our shorter halfs has some advice it will be appreciated

Thanks!

SUZUKI VL250 LC
don't knock it till ya try it
On the short side too

Yeah looking at a gn250...easy to ride. She hasn't got any manual bike experience. Think I'd better put her on a training course first. I did my learners training with them and they were great so I'll take her there I think.

Anyone know much about the Lifan Delta 250?

Forget the gn 250 buddy OLD SCHOOL. Out of date. Buy her a nice new INTRUDER lots of browny points to be had.

LOL..im hearing ya

Hi - I'm under 5 foot too. Ended up on a Virago and lovin' it. I'd recommend sending her on a course too as it will give her a chance to try the important things (emergency braking) in a safe environment. Watch out boys!

[The Stranger:Me]

I only have 30" inside leg

Only??
Fucken skite, sure beats my 8 inches.

Honda Rebels are good for shorty pantses too!

rode a 748 duke the other day, that seemed close to the ground if your girl is after more power in a while.

told my mate it was a girls bike too.

[aewilliam]

If she aint too keen on learnin how to use the feet for anything but walkin, hows about the Vespa 250? (adn shes already on a non-50cc scoot, so thought coudl throw this in anyhoos...)
They may cost a bit ($7k ish new?), but they are the only small-frame scooter above 125cc that I know of (production!!!), and being a 250cc, I thinks they do around 140kmh or so? Enuf to stay in range of your mirrors?
Or there are other rarer Euro options like the Gilera DNA (180cc 2strokes) or the Cagiva Raptor (125cc 2strokes)

If only them proddys could/would squeeze a 650 or so into a small frame scoot...

I am only 5ft 1" and I find the Ninja 250 R to be easy to handle height wise as well as weight wise. You can buy lowering kits for bikes. Its just a matter of going into the bike shops and having a look at whats around and getting her to sit on them to see how it feels height and weight wise. Im sure she will find a bike that she will be happy with eventually. Goodluck.
