whats the negative side of lowering the motorcycle? ive heard people just saying not to lower it, but they never really gave a good reason why. but i would need to lower it because the cbr 600rr are too high for me to have both feet touching the ground.

 

hmmm.. it's kind of a given as to what happens, a universal truism, the word of god himself spake the results, least ye have not the knowledge, least ye not be helped

Just do what makes you feel most confident on the bike, that's whats important.

Unless you're planning to race the bike competitively, or really tear up some backroads, I think you will be just fine if you lower it 1 inch or so. Also try shaving the seat down or even lowering the subframe (i'll look for the link for the company that does this).

:D &lt;3

 

Why ride a sportbike in the first place if you are going to cut its ***** off... tons of bikes come stock with a really low seat. They just aren't sportbikes.

 

Im 5'9 and I have to do the one cheek sneak on my brothers 06 R6 and I just have both ***** of my feet touch the ground on my 05 R6 but Id rather do the one cheek sneak since its way more comfy for me.
