I am a girl rider, 5'11" (short inseem) the SV650 was a good height couldn't flat foot it. But alot of power that I probably didn't use. Sadly, it was stolen just before I was about to move. I am a huge Honda fan (dogs names Rukus and Honda) and want to get a new motorcycle. I like the seat height and looks of the CBR300r and the CBR500r. The CBR600r might be too much for me and the seat height way too tall. What would you recommend? Would either of the listed bike be too much of a downgrade? Thank you for your input.

 

You mean 5 foot 1 inch right? 5 11" is tall enough to flat foot a giant dirt bike even.

I'd completely skip the 500R, HUGE waste of money. I've owned the 300R and it's a great bike for the price, the 500R however is an over priced piece of crap that loses consistently to my ninja 300. My friend bought one brand new after I got my ninja, we've rode each others bikes a lot. It just sucks. Looks like an RR, that's where the resemblance stops.
