All depends on the leg length of the ickle rider really. I've got a few inches over you (!!
 !!), but have the Suzuki low seat option. You can drop the bike with new suspension links too. I'm sure some more shorties will be along (shortly!) to fill out the answers.Cheers, (short) Garry

.................in that case, perhaps I should add that this short*rse has an inside leg of around 29" and the lower seat pad in itself is sufficient. Depends on boots too- my new Oxtars make it more comfortable to put my foot down.
Oh yes and before someone asks - yes they do have stilleto heels (and platform soles too)!  Garry

hello mate, had the same prob as yourself at the start
had the seat foam shaved by the dealership but had to do it again myself and took out the max foam I could but its still comfy and looks original also got a new set of lower suspension links from svmania.com and they did the final trick was supposed to then lower the headlight aim as well after fitting the links but hey, ****it, keeps the cagers on their toes anyway, these two simple mods worked a treat for me |

Nutty carries a stepladder tied to her pillion seat so she can get on and off *. She has to wear cuban heels so she can get her feet down **. And stilts. ***

You know, I can't put my finger on it, but somehow I feel disinclined to believe you.
