You're inseam is gonna pretty much tell ya what you can handle.

Pretty easy to lower most sportbikes now for less than $100 - can usually drop a coupla inches but this will affect handling if not doe right.

Sometimes modifying the seat is a better option.

 

r u asking how low u can drop a bike? or person height?

cuz unless ur midget, shouldnt matter too much

 

hah well put +1

 

there is no minimum height. girlonf4iiiii on this forum rides an f4i and shes like only 4'11.. she man handle that baby! my friend (guy) is like 5'4 and rides an r1 and no problem with it. even though he has to shift around to touch the floor, shift, and brake, but otherwise..not a problem.

i guess minimum height is when you need a boost to get on top of the bike. imagine they make these lil steppers like those lifted trucks to get on.

 

How short are you? I rode an RR, no problem.

It will affect handling poorly regardless of done right or not.

 

i went to the international bike show last weekend at long beach and was surprised to find that most of the honda bikes and kawasakis did not really fit me as comfortably as i would have liked i'm about 5'10" and couldn't completely plant my feet like i could on the r6 and r1. guess i'll stick with yamahas

 

5'4 on an 03 R6, stock height

doing a-ok, just use one foot down at stops

 

6'10
