As I mentioned in the past, I'm pretty short (5'3''-5'4'')
I've heard that you can lower the bike and shave the seat (something like that)
but exactly how low can a bike go

 

Like everything else, it depends on the bike and where it is to start. Cruisers sit lower as a rule, smaller displacements are usually lowest. An inch or two would be my SWAG. Maybe boots would help some as well...but you're not quite all the way out of the oven yet

I'm pretty sure I won't grow much anymore
maybe an inch or two at most

 

OK, most bikes are around 32" without sag. Go sit on a few at the dealership with some good boots...

 

am i out of the oven yet? i sure hope so....

 

Over done maybe

 

d'oh!

 

But you make up for it in being so handsome

 

haha, nobody's touchin this

 

im 5'5" and i sit with feet flat on the ground on all the bikes i've ever sat on(r1, r6, f4i, 929rr, zx6r, etc...) except for the new GSXRs but my friend is the same height as me and when he sits on the same bikes he can only get his toes down because he has shorter legs than i do so that could be a factor, i would go sit on some at a dealer to see if you can do it but you still have lots of time till you get one

check out http://www.motomorphic.com/

they are across the street from our shop and will modify anything. as for seats you can have suspention adjusted a bit and some peeps take off the seat and have a flat one made with squishy material, but these guys will go beyond any expectations, they can do anything.
