Default Bike seat heights.

I looked at the CBR 600 RR and the seat heights was calculated at 32.3 Inches. I measure my legs lenght and its at 32 inches with boots on. now, by adding on the width of the seat how many inches am I off? I don't know the width of the seats on a CBR 600. Does it look like I'll be tipy toeing at a light?

Instead of trying to calculate it, why don't you just go sit on one?

it's hard for me to actually find the time because I am seriously working MAD OVER TIME to have the funds to BUY the bike. I just want a little bit of an idea before I get into anything.

Shouldn't you have gotten the idea before you started working MAD OVER TIME?

I'm the same height, you'll be fine. Instead of trying to put both feet(or toes) down, just put one down. You actually feel more stable that way, from my experience at least. I'm surprised nobody said it already
One cheek sneak FTW

Believe me...I would be willing to be in debt about 150K if I can grow 5 more inches.

The biggest ******* insecurity for me that I can't change. I am fit with muscle but short as ****!

I dunno if I would pay 150K, my height doesn't bother me that much. I've learned to deal with it.
