Bikes for the short of leg. - SV650.org

13-01-05, 10:14 PM

Recently my girlfriend confessed a secret buring desire to learn to ride a bike. I am OK with this, however she is only 5 foot tall and seems to like *shudder* cruiser type bikes. In fact at the G-Mex she professed to love a certain H*nda type cruisy thingy.
Anyway, no H*ndas allowed, so I'm looking for a Virago 535 or similar small shaft drive cruiser. Any ideas?

I'm also wondering if she isn't too short for the CG125 that most places use for the CBT??

My BIL has one of those shaftie 650 Yam Cruiser things.......... very low seat. Seems Ok. If you like that sort of thing.

Is the Virage 535 a shaftie?

She has trouble doing 70, on the motorway, in the car!

I've got no idea on short bikes, since I can put both feet down flat on most trailies.
I don't think it's possible to be too short for a cg125, they really are tiny.
