Hello! I’m in the position of buying a bike for commuting (or scooter) up into London from Croydon, but I’m what you might call vertically-challenged: 5’1" to be precise.
Does anyone have any recommendations for bikes that I’d be comfortable on?
if its commuting only and im guessing youll be on l plates id say yamaha ybr 125 or honda cg125 if you wnat a bit of fun and something a bit more sporty looking go for a honda cbr 125 but if theres a bike you like thats to tall for you you can allways just get a lowing kit
ah yes should have mentioned - it needs to be a 125 as I’ll only be on L plates Didn’t realise all bikes had the lowering kit option actually - cheers!
I really don’t know how much I’ll have to spend unfortunately, so looking for an opportunistic sale I’m afraid. Just sold my (crappy) car so I have a small amount set by, but got to get the rest together.
SR125 was by far the lowest bike I found…there was another thats an inch or two taller, but off the top of my head I cant recall it. It wasn’t CG125/CBF125/R125/VanVan, they are all far too tall for someone 5 foot with shortish legs.
