Can’t stop laughing when he says vertically challenged😂😂

Not sure about new bike, but got a new word for my friend. Vertically challenged 🤣

These bikes are nice for new designs, but will go as much as 550lbs or so. But 650cc's is nice. I chose an '18 Yamaha V Star 250 v-twin lowrider Custom Cruiser. 27.5" seat height. At 68, I still need to mount it like the moto cops do. Torquey lil Sportster-like bike that fits me like a glove. And at 326lbs wet, it's easier to handle for short or new riders. I've been modding mine while letting my last hip replacement heal since last June.

Triumph Street Scrambler has 28in seat height and is easy to lower another inch and a quarter. 500lb wet and 900cc. Big yes for short stature riders.

I have an inseam of 27" on my jeans. I have a 2022 Heritage classic that is really easy to ride even with the 725 lbs. I also have a 2023 ZX4RR that I lowered an inch. It's a great bike to have fun on. I also have a 2018 Iron 1200 that I love to ride with my new suspension. At 70 I love my bikes.

I'm 5'1 can I ride a zx25r?

Nearly all bikes are designed with short riders in mind. Unless it’s an off road bike with necessarily tall suspension it’ll almost certainly be fine. Try being 6’5” and having completely bent knees on nearly all bikes because the seat to peg ratio is set to fit short riders. You don’t have to pay extra to get a car to fit, they come with adjustable seats and steering wheels. It’s high time bikes came with the same or came with free custom fit options.

I understand it being difficult for tall riders, trust me, mate. I’m Dutch. But bikes being for short people is simply not true. I think most motorcycles are actually built for people of average height, which is why anybody (significantly) taller or shorter struggles to find the right bike for them. At 6’5” it also depends on what you deem to be “short”, but my friend who stands at 5’3” has had a lot of difficulties finding something suitable for his height and to his own taste. He’s a beginner too, so prefers to ride something with no more than 600cc. Prefers naked bikes that look sporty and compact, but still not too powerful. It’s the standard (limited) choices, or mod the hell out a model that he does like, but with very little experience with bikes and no proper knowledge on how to rebuild them + limited budget… It’s difficult.

[@CHuzz7777]

@ The problem is very different. Short riders struggle to get their feet down on tall bikes whereas tall riders are cramped because the geometry is designed specifically for short riders. The long and short of it is that the motorcycle industry accommodates shorter riders except where the principle task of the bike necessitates tall suspension e.g. off road bikes. The motorcycle industry does not accommodate taller riders in any way except by accident e.g. tall suspension on off road bikes.

[@darenc4459]

No offense, but these seem more like beginner bikes, than bikes for those shorter riders. A 2018 Harley Road King has a seat hight of 27.8 inches. It might weigh more than, the bikes shown. However it has just as low of a seat.

[@barona404]

I'm not trying to be funny. Define short. 5'7" and below?

My two cent analysis on election result. In karnataka assembly election congress won 130+ seats. Two reasons could be anti- incumbency and freebies by congress ( electricity free, 2000/ to every family, free bus travel for ladies and etc). Because of this state victory, congress and opposition learnt freebies can win any election. congress in loksabha election promised 8000/ RS per month as freebie. Congress could not win, because of modiji's honest work and developments. I think even with congress freebies promised, muslim support and foreign agency interference,. BJP's victory is historical in this lok sabha election.

5’3 can’t even use the Indian motorcycle. Can’t reach the pedals.

[@alainremi267]

Thanks... but since you're giving the engines sizes in cc would it burn your brain to give the seat height in cm as well as in inches 😂😂😂
