Height Question.
I'm new to this and just started looking around. I'm a shorter guy 5'8-9 and i was wondering is my height would limit me to certain bikes, or what bikes typically suit the shorter rider better. sorry if it's a dumb question but just wondering. thanks in advance.

I'm 5'9 and every bike I sit on fits ok I can touch my feet on the ground on my 600rr and I would consider it taller than most bikes Ive sat on. most suzuki's Ive sat on sit pretty low compared to my bike but u shouldnt have a problem with any bike u decide to get at ur height

Re: Height Question.
you can ride about anything as your height is about what bikes are designed for. You're cracking me up though because I'm used to people asking or talking about how they need to get a busa or other large bike because they can't fit on anything smaller at 5'8" or 5'9"
get some shorter friends

5'8"-9" isn't short. I just recently put a down payment on an 03 r6 at my local dealer and i can place both feet on each sides of the bike, but its like half of my foot though. I still dont have to much of a problem riding it. btw im only 5'5"

like he said 5-8 is not short at all i am 5 foot 5 and i got a zx636 and i fit on it just fine it all depends on what bkie u get and where u want your comfort level as far as your feet to be.
