Ok ladies, post your height, what bike you ride, inseam, and how much you had to lower your please. I'm looking for some points of reference I can use with my height challenged wife.

Thanks
Thomas

Good idea....I'm looking for a little lady

her height isn't so much important as her inseam.

I am 5'6, and have a 34 inch inseam. Never had to lower a bike,ever.

I'm 5'3" with a 31 inch inseam...my Cbr600rr I had lowered 1.5 inches until I could one foot it, but currently ride a gsxr600 at stock heighth.

My best friend is 5' with short legs, same bike lowered 2", (which I don't reccommend due to handling) but it can be done. Since she doesn't know any different it doesn't matter to her, either on street or the track.

Depending on your wifes skill level, and the specifics you want, you may or may not want to lower a bike.

She has a Ninja 500 right now, she's not into extreme lean angles or very spirited riding at extreme speeds on the street, and I doubt she will ever do track days but then again you never know.
