Hi Maz,
Consider changing your approach to your next bike by spending a proportion of your next bike price on lowering the bike that you like. This will hugely increase the number of bikes you can consider owning.
There are a number of vertically challenged riders on WB.
Jacde and Beamer have had their machines lowered and honed to suit them.
Ducatista also I believe.
Or maybe buy an already lowered bike.
Drop them a PM, I'm sure they'll be delighted to share their experiences and modifications with you.
