Go to a dealer and try to get a Boulevard C109 (900 lbs wet) off its stand, then go home and try it on your bike and you will see how light it is.

them boulevards feel light (unless lifting) the weight is very well balanced and all the weight is low down you dont feel it really. ask any girl to go lift it off the stand its only 900 lbs

I'm not a girl, but only 5'-4" and 130 lbs and I find the SV no problem to handle

Remember its all in the legs!

PS I am a 5'2" size 10 woman

Now, I don't want to wreck anyones dreams, but I honestly reckon anyone shorter than me would have a lot of problems! lol

Bloody hell, SV650 dating .com

I'm 5'7", 13st. I have blue eyes (although they do change colour depending on my mood).

I love motorbikes, off roading and my dogs.

I also like taking long moonlight strolls along a beach, pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

I'm another 5'2" woman with all the muscular strength of a bag of cotton wool. One good bit of advice I was given is when you slow to a stop at lights and junctions, put your heel down and roll your foot forward to flat. That way the little bit of momentum left in the bike won't unbalance you.

If we are all giving how big we are im 6' average build im used to lifting most bigs myself, them 1800 cruisers take abit more than a little lift, ideal bike for your short girls, you can touch the floor on one of them!
