Motorcycles for Short Riders - Tips and Tricks

[@AGirlandHerBike]

Did this video help you out?! Let me know!

[@speede3365]

Me personally no, but my girlfriend is a shorty haha she's looking to get into motorcycles. Good job keep up the videos.

[@lm2487]

Thank you SO much! I am a midget and your video really inspired me! I one foot it & am real good. And I never stop on an uphill or downhill. I also use a 2 step ladder to get on & I usually ride to an area where I can get one foot down, like a curb. I lean a lot (45*) at stop lights but get one foot firmly planted. One advantage to my 3'7" height is that I tuck when going fast and hardly any wind hits me.

I think motorcycle companies should make motorcycles of different size like Small, medium, large and extra large for people of different height.

[@scowler92]

Adjustable seats. Offer multiple swingarms like backstraps for newer pistols. Sell bikes like guns, basically.

[@bfforlife1880]

The thing to remind new riders of is "uneven pavement" at the bottom of hills, near curbs/gutters. It's tough to remember to use the foot opposite of the dips to keep yourself from falling over.

[@mikey2864]

Good point, that's the trick.... if you don't (maybe you have to stop too quickly in an emergency) you might have to shuffle seat position VERY quickly... or you'll struggle not to drop it. Focus on keeping that 'hunk of steel' vertical (until you are moving at some speed) Then open the throttle - you earned it. 🙂

Good comment from a reader that seat width matters! Not just for reaching the ground but for hanging off. Also, I can't touch quite as easily as you. Just swallow your pride if you are trying to back into a spot and can't get enough traction. Get off and roll it! Dropping your bike (especially if a gravelly surface) just isn't worth it!

[@KillswitchQueen]

A good portion of how much clearance you can get away with has to do with CONFIDENCE. Your experience riding lets you tip toe and still be confident enough to ride. Most girls I know won't touch a tall bike with a 10 foot dong. Bad ass video dude! I need to get myself one of your hoodies!!

[@sanderslongdrive]

Smart lady, very good advice. I began biking in 1967 when all bikes were far less tall. Nowadays what I consider to be a giant bike (my GTR1400) is very heavy, with a high centre of gravity, and a far too high seat height - '.m 5ft. 9 ins. and on the balls of my feet!!!!!!! As any racer will confirm, for max. handling bikes need to be light, with a low centre of gravity, and low seating. Manufacturers routinely break these basic principles, and see only the need to inflict on us complex (immensely expensive to repair) unnecessary electronics. It's all extremely silly. The bike of mine I mentioned boasts a frame and wheels painted with ONE COAT of WATER COLOUR PAINT! For heaven's sake! So, to return to the subject - a vast number today's bikers are by necessity into shorter rear suspension and / or 'Lust Racing' suspension linkages, and / or lowered seats. And as girlie said - softening the suspension all round. Although girlie manages beautifully in daylight on flat ground, rest assured that slowly manaovering a very heavy bike after dark on uneven ground on tiptoe is an entirely different matter, and a damn good recipe for dropping the machine no matter how clever/ experienced one thinks one is. P.S. A sound temporary fix for ladies are high heels. I joke not.

[@MrTay675]

At 5'6(167cm) the only stock sportbikes I can flatfoot are the GSXR. Suzuki really did a great job designing the subframe for shorter riders. For the fit/performance/styling and $ for maintenance, Suzuki gets my thumbs up for best bang for the buck. Coming from a zx-10r owner.

[@Candydropcc]

5'5 human here. Also former Honda CBR500R owner. Pretty much did the same thing - softeing the suspension. But lol, being a noob back then, I didnt know to do that for 🤔 about a month before I asked the shop to have it adjusted... good times

[@Tremonte]

Good tips. I sit at 5'3" 150lbs and after a few hundred to a thousand miles, I adjust my suspension usually one notch above middle. That gives me enough rebound for cornering with my weight, but just the right amount of sag. I just did a similar video a few weeks ago showing how I manage a stock R6 and Z650. Each bike sits very different, and requires totally different technique for stops and starts. The Z650 is a great short person or possible beginner bike. Keep up the great vids!

@@daisyw23 Are you diehard into sport bikes, or have you considered a cruiser? There are some pretty nice cruisers out there including the new Rebel that have a crazy low seat. My sister rides a suzuki GZ250, and she's 5'1 and sits flat foot with her knees bent! If you're really into sport bikes though, that's cool too! Make it work for you! You definitely have my respect :] P.S. After looking, Kawasaki actually makes a pretty sick looking cruiser, the Vulcan S! I don't know if you've seen it, but if you like Kawi (I do! I LOVE Ninjas and the Z125!) it's a pretty sick looking bike! It's got sexy curves and looks fast as hell! It's a 650 so it's a bit of a jump from your current bike, but it's just an example of how nice cruisers can be and not all look like Harleys or old man bikes. Good luck and ride safe! :D

On one toe at all stops! If I slide off the seat, I can flat-foot it on one side, but only if the road camber is juuuust riiiiight 😂

[@KendraKjolseth]

They actually make insoles that you can put in your shoes that'll make you taller. As long as you have some high top riding shoes, you can always try that alternative and see if it helps you flat foot on your bike. So much easier and safer when it comes to stopping on hills or having to walk you bike backwards.

[@willfeldcamp9663]

Dopest intro god damn

[@johnhays1939]

I have a vstrom 1000 with a seat height of 34 inches after padding added, my inseam is 29.5 inches, I too put my foot onto the left foot peg and swing my leg over like she does with her super-moto, someone described this to me like mounting a horse and I have to agree, I could swing my leg over if I was 20 yrs younger but the hips don't lie anymore just hurt LOL

[@barbaluti]

I really loved the V-Strom when I tried it but I got scared of the height. When the ground is slippery, even with good boots it gets really tricky to stay on tiptoes.

[@MikesProjectsandHobbiesMC]

My wife is short and she rides. When I say short, shes short. 4'11". We have found the true limiting factor is can you rock the bike up and support it with your right leg and at the same time reach the kickstand to put it up. LOL Seriously that IS the true limiting factor. Bikes shes owned, Ninja 250, SV650S, F650 BMW and CBR600 F4i. Only the SV was lowered with lowering links, all the other bikes were pretty much stock. If a 4'11" girl can do it just about anyone can. My wife gets a kick out of someone that is 5'3" claiming they are too short to ride. BTW You can always pick up a bike like a Sportster if you find sport bikes too tall. Yamaha Bolt looks pretty cool too. Wife has her eye on the new BMW 300 R so we are headed over after work to give one a sit.

[@elvy3236]

What year? And how tall are you hun did you reach the ground??

[@650hpreventon]

Another tip when testing sitting bikes in a dealership, if the bikes has newer tires or new tires ,it's more realistic fitting, because soon or later you need to change ties, new tires will always be taller because center of the tires are never worn-out. I just changed to a sets of q3, I can't even tip toes, just barely. I have to use 1 feet for now. Also a slightly higher tire psi will increase height

[@leocopper9588]

I am a 5'5" tall guy with a 29" inseam and a WR250R. I like the kick stand trick, I usually look for a curb for getting on and off. I keep a concrete block near the garage for getting on and off.I have added a lowering link and slid the fork tubes up 18mm. The bike is a lot of fun...could use a little more pop, but the height is a real issue on single track. I keep getting into situations that if I could reach the ground would save me from falling over. The WR is a tank for a dirt bike and it is tough to pick up. I was hoping for a dirt bike, but will be limited to forest roads and street riding. What I need is something like the Honda CRF150 made street legal.

[@motto666]

The balancing act will fail one day when you come to a stop on an uneven road where the center part is much deeper. The best solution is still a lowering kit that lowers the seat height by as much as 2 inches, and a cut out seat.

I only just started riding a month ago, I am 5ft 2 and got a CBR500r as a first bike, thanks for this video, I didn't think of softening the suspension to help with my height so I am definitely going to do this now (I am super light too, so the suspension is like a rock at the moment when I sit on it). Cheers.

I think it's funny when short riders say how to deal with bikes, but they ride a sportbike and can tiptoe... I'm 5'4 and ride a yz250f. If I'm lucky I can get toes down on one foot if I shift the seat up to my inner knee on the opposite leg. It's all about bike control and honestly if you have to get off when you stop, do it. Dealing with tall bikes? Learn to use clutch and throttle at very low to a stopped speed, that's my advice. Granted I ride mostly offroad so this is very skewed, yet I still come to a standstill and have to shift and even jump off quickly. So, how to deal with a tall bike? Just fucking do it, you'll be fine. Just my two cents.

[@patriciocabrera839]

turn on a yz450 is my problem when im tired :(

[@bribrioche3259]

I'm 5'2" and have been a little bummed that all I can fit stock is a cruiser; this really made me feel like I can do a sports bike and ride around with my husband! Thanks!

It’s helpful. I’m 5’1”. I went to the dealership and sat on a Ninja 400. I hear that’s the best starter bike. Def love the ninjas but I will for sure have to lean.

[@DanteYewToob]

People think it's just height, but the length of the legs isn't all... the width of your hips, (typically women have wider hips) and the width of the seat make a difference, a wide seat will eat up some of your leg length as you straddle it, so women can usually fit on a wider seat more comfortably. Your weight also has to do with it, a small light person wont compress the bike as much, even with adjusting the shocks, when a heavier person will drop the bike more. Also take into account, some people are small, but have bigger feet.. I'm 5'6 but have a size 11 Nike foot. So my big ass feet make up for short legs when I use my tippy toes. So all in all, with the same exact bike ten people of the same height will fit on it differently, some will be flat foot, some tippy toe, some won't fit at all... you just have to try out a few bikes and see what fits you.

[@antonioambrosino4532]

It's ok on flat roads .but can you face stop up the hills? I think will be very hard to start up hills.

[@shubhamdubey1732]

right bro

[@liilianalopez1155]

I'm 5"2 and I ride a little Libero 125 around my City. Still tiptoe though. Uphills are all about shifting your weight to the left foot and loving the shit out of the back brake as you Rev. This video Is solid.

[@holandamonicace1385]

I have droped my bike 3 or four times for this very reason: I am short and the bike is heavy... When it tilts left or right I kiss the ground or try to avoid remaining on it... Oh... by te way... I'm so glad for having been able to understand your English.

i can only speak for short scooter riders. im 4ft 10in and had to get my seat shaved off as much as possible. i found some place to alter it for about $50. as long as you could get one foot down on the ground, ur good. the one i have is bintelli bolt 150cc

[@thatseventiesman3865]

When being short there are so many different bikes to choose from. It's really not a problem.

[@mikes2270]

Good video. But it's not your height that matters. It's your inseam.

[@mouchthebiker2938]

5'2" with a 35-inch inseam, I wanna see that dude hahaha

[@0verfiend]

How tall are you, Mike?

[@yissachu]

[@mcdjservices]

Riders & potential riders! As a former 12 yrs. Motorcycle Safety Instructor, I must point out other important facts about this video. It is intended to help to getting around a fitting problem. However, someone will be injured or killed thinking they can ride like that in every situation as long as they own that bike. There are countless variables that cannot be over looked. Getting caught in the rain on roadways that has painted lines / manhole covers or stop & go traffic will be very hazardous. Fatigue that will wear on you. Riding tippy toe is like asking a woman (34B) to wear a size 36DD bra or a 130lb man to wear 42 waist pants. Riding an unfit motorcycle puts you and the public at risk. What is the point in that? Believe me, that will decrease your safety margin fast. Please, think harder before you commit to that challenge. .

[@jenniferclarkson949]

So helpful. There are not that many female riders putting up any videos, so it's nice to see. Answered a lot of questions I had about height.

[@matojxr1]

That's the cuttest thumbnail i've ever seen.

Can you do a face reveal

[@emileelynch8693]

Puma 13 she said she would do a face reveal at 100k... but for some reason i cant stop imagining her as an asian.

[@dootdeedootdeedoo]

Emilee Lynch Same!! I've always pictured her as like a Philippino or something. She just reminds me if a gal I went to high school with from the Philippines.

[@mattgarces]

Puma 13 she deff. has freckles.. maybe? lol

[@brandono7018]

I think she is Asian cause look at her boyfriend Brian

[@justashortride6943]

some great advice for shorter riders. Confidence is key, and trying out a variety of bikes is important. I'd advise starting lower seat, and narrower through the inseam to start with and gain confidence though

[@englandstillhasit]

I would just ride then edit a voice over in later. i bet passing cars are like wtf as bike bloggers wave ther arms around full convo mode lol.
