I'm going to have a similar problem.

I'm planning on looking at the following:
VFR 400 NC24/30
CBR 400 NC23 Babyblade


You can usually get most bikes 'lowered', so it might be worth looking into that? I plan to - as I would really like a CBR600

A NC35/RVF400 is the best 400 out there!

[R1chie]

any of the 400's out there.........rvf,vfr, cbr, zxr

plus 650 twins like the sv or ER6

I was gonna suggest the SV650 too

Two words Ducati monster (if you have the money)

My better half is about the same height and weight as you and she can sit on my old Yamaha FJ1200 and put her feet flat on the floor, you can get a good one of these of the bay of e for 600 quid

I am not convinced changing the ride height on a bike is the best thing to do (personal opinion here). I have done this on a bandit 600 for my better half and now the centre stand grounds out before the pegs (not nice)

The other thing you will have to do is make sure you have a good reach when sitting in the seat moving the handle bars from right to left

What style bike do you like sport, custom, retro?

I agree SV650 , But if you have lots extra pennies and reliable breakdown recovery Ducati 749R 8-)

i think she might struggle with the 748/749 Tim, being a short arse and all lol

from memory after sitting on one i though it was quite high, could be wrong though

Hmm thinking about it now Rich.. your probably right...Have sat on few at Onyerbike myself, Think its the illusion of Duke's looking small... might I swayed me to that direction...Guess she would have to sit astride one first.

Having known quite a few shorter girls, they have always seem to purchased the SV's

The 1990 CBR600 I've resurrected is really low, feels weird if I go on it after the Tuono. I'm trying to finish it off with some fairing panels then may sell or better still do a swap with someone for a 250- 450 trailie. Would certainly recommend one of these for short and less experienced riders. Not sure if the newer ones are as low.
