I had a friend in High School who had a Kawasaki 500 Triple. He was 5'4". He had a hell of a time riding that thing. This guy was pretty smooth.

Giving credit where credit is due.  I wonder if he's thought about trying roller skates? Nah, probably not a good idea.  |

I wonder how many falls he took before he was this good at it?
Shows someone that looks for a solution rather than an excuse.

But wait!!! He IS as tall as he is supposed to be. This rider shows the courage to ride. The human species is/can be the most adaptive species on earth. That is why we have endured all these years. Ride safe... |

good for him able to do that very easily being about 5' tops is all, if that.
Maybe a Honda Grom would suit him better though?
Let's face it, most cycles are for riders say 5'8" to about 6'3" or so, much shorter hard to touch the ground without mods and much taller feeling tad bit cramped in the legs.

I'm not sure what you mean. I saw a Kawasaki 500 triple a few years ago for the first time in a long time... I was surprised that it was only about a foot and a half tall  Some of those older "big bikes" are tiny after you've been on a Valkyrie... -Mike |

But in seat height I doubt there is much difference. I just remember him having to one leg it at stops. It was his first motorcycle which didn't help also. |
