Newb - Yep another one!
Hello all,
I am just getting ready to purchase my first SV. I think I'm going for the yellow, half faired "curvy" as you all put it. I'm in the States so not sure if we call it "curvy" here, but I like it, so I'm sticking with it. lol I am 39, 5'4 and about 115lbs. So before I take the leap, I thought maybe some of you could enlighten me on some of the cons the bike may offer a short/petite chick. I've been on a 98 Ninja two-fitty, and am flat footed on that bike. I have put maybe 800 miles or so on it and am bored already. So, enter the SV. I just want to make sure it won't be too much bike in terms of deciding to throw me off the bike. Any comments are appreciated. |

wilkommen.
Loads of short ar&es have a curvey so the height thing shouldn' be an issue. I've got a 29 inch inside leg & can put both feet down with a slight bit of raised heel on one side. Do a search & you'll find a few other similar threads. |

Re: Newb - Yep another one!
The SV should be fine for you as it's a short ar$e bike. Always worth testriding one first tho, just to make sure you're comfortable on it

Welcome, welcome indeed
You'll be fine on the SV. Don't worry about getting flat footed, plenty of short arsed herberts like me haven't had both feet down since their 125 days! |

Welcome - bet you have some great roads to try your SV out (maybe not in winter!). Ride safe and enjoy.
