    I think it mostly comes down to experience on a bike, cauz i had a yammie R6 an I only got 27" legs (on the inside). Of course i had issues when stopping on off camber roads etc, but u just get used to finding flat ground to stop on.
    Go with a bike you feel comfortable with!!
    keep it on 1 wheel!!!!

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    I have a Kawa VN250 that is a fantastic machine - seat height is very low.

    Not exactly a speed machine but get along at 110 OK

    So happens I am selling mine soon

    From my experinces Rg150 are quite short bikes compared to most, try out one of these and see how it goes. Plus good ol two stroke doesent hurt either

    bike for short guy

    hi.

    ima short guy.. stand at about 4 foot 11, ( i mayb short but its not my legs that are holding me up)

    i ride a vl250 intruder. all i did was lower the front forks a little.. and modified the seat. so reduced the height a little.. cause i aint at all the heavy.. i found the intruder to be lower and also alot lighter then the virago.. and boy does she fly when im on it.. not much weight at all lol.. i found it easy to mange when it was stock standard but since modification of forks and seat can now be safer when stoping and the camber of the road is not level.. but yea.. never let ya height stop ya from riding. haha

    Wrong and wrong. The Virago has the same seat height and is 10kg lighter, the new V-Star is the same weight with a lower seat.
