Bikes suitable for very small people?

[PrincessBandit]

My wife is about the same hight and weight. She seems to be able to ride most bikes but has a bit of trouble with some off road bikes and heavy road/sports bikes

I think the SV650 would be a great choice

However a pit bike is the best bike for very small people

I sat on one of those when looking for my bike and found it way too tall, and the seat wasn't able to be lowered. One of the reasons I went for the 650 Bandit. pm me if you want to ask any other questions of me directly. All the best, have fun looking.

We had a lower seat on Gassit Girl's K5 SV650S, and it was still higher than the seat on her K6 GSX-R750. She finds her 750 easier to handle

I now have a full licence, and I'm wanting to get a bigger bike. It would be nice however to get one that my partner could ride too (she's currently on a learners licence).

She's less than 60Kg, and 158cm tall (5'2") which means we need something with a reasonably low and/or narrow seat.

I've had a look around, and things like the Honda Hornet 600 and the new Triumph Street Triple are things she can fit on, but the latter is pushing the price out a bit much :-)

Ideally I'd like to find something suitable for less than $10,000

If ya like that look of bike, why not look at a Cagiva raptor 650? Low seat, naked, quick (suzuki sv engine) and sexier than a Kera Knightly- Rachel Weis sandwich! I'm looking at a purchase soon and like these as the seat height is great for us midgets.
