List of bikes with a low seat height NOT a cruiser

[QB1]

Was chatting to a friend of mine about this and she recommended a bike no ones mentioned yet a Kawasaki ZZR600 - that should fall within budget and does have a low seat. Might be worth a look too?

If you are going the lowering route I'd certainly check it out before you buy the bike. You dont want to buy a bike then realise the options for lowering are too expensive.

I know many people here have lowered bikes without a problem but I'm not a fan. The bike manufacturers spend a huge amount on R&D when they design and build a bike and if you are changing something fundamental it must affect the bike. But hey I'm no expert all I know is that I could tell a difference in the two lowered bikes I've ridden but in fairness I've been riding bikes for many years and have owned and ridden quite a few.

Hope you find what you want.

Sv650 is a popular option as they can be lowered easily.

Put on a bit of weight. I weigh about 300lb and that's guaranteed to lower any bikes seat height (except a hard tail choppers) ;D

I was having this conversation yesterday at the hot cross bun run. I'm 5 foot 4 with a 29 inch leg and I struggle to touch the ground on most bikes. I also own a pair or Daytona Ladystars which give me an extra couple of inches instep, as scotty mentioned.
I was talking to Bondy (was trying to buy her street triple, more like...lol) who told me you can get any bike lowered if you do it properly - she's had hers done and its made the difference in me fiat footing on hers and being a couple of inches off the ground on other triples I've tried.
I currently ride a Honda hornet 600 that hasn't been lowered and I'm fine on it; you're welcome to try it for size, maz.

I have a zzr600 and they are low. I have a 30" leg and can stand up and get my arse off the seat. Goes well.
