    Ladies, what do you do when you're too short!!?
    My quest for a bike short enough to fit me but strong enough to keep up with my fellow riders has come to a standstill. My hubby tried to make several adjustments to his Honda Hawk 400 so I could reach the ground flat-footed when riding but nothing...  moreMy quest for a bike short enough to fit me but strong enough to keep up with my fellow riders has come to a standstill. My hubby tried to make several adjustments to his Honda Hawk 400 so I could reach the ground flat-footed when riding but nothing worked. Seems like the only thing that would work would be unreversible things like cutting it up and making it into a chopper lol. Right now my plan is to just take the motorcycle safety course this spring/early summer, get my license to ride, and wait for the perfect bike to find me. Because I am having no luck finding her. I'm only 5 ft, 5'1ft if I cheat with taller boots so I need to find something SHORT lol. I'm going to be very dissapointed if the safety course (they provide the bikes to train on) I want to take doesn't have any bikes that will fit me. Guess I'm just feeling like the odd lady out lately. Any other vertically challenged folks out there??  less

    While on the height topic, does anyone know how I can lower an 86 V65 Honda Magna, I got this bike to work on but it is way to high for me especially in my un even gravel driveway

    I am a 5'8 male rider. My first bike was a 600cc shadow which was low enough for me. I also found out with other bikes, that they can put a gel seat on which usually lowers it around 2 inches. They also have lowering kits.
    Hope this helps
    .ps the Yamaha Virago might also be an option. I have an 1100 virago and my feet are firmly on the ground with room to spare

    This is a 97 Yamaha Virago which is all original except for the Mustang seat which is great for those long rides for both rider and passenger.
