Hello all, been lurking round the site for awhile, thought it only polite to say hello.
Riding 125 CBR at the moment. Looking to do DAS next month and get a proper bike!
Only thing that bothers me, being quite short, most bikes around 600cc seem too high and am on the end of my toes struggling for balance.
Anyway, look forward to coming out for a ride and chat over the summer.

Hi, welcome to LB.
Good luck with your DAS next month and finding the right bike will be easy if your looking for a 600cc sports as there are various lowering kits available. To fit them go down to the OMC if you like tinkering or give Adz a call if you just like sitting back and watching.
Hi Shaz & welcome

Hi, welcome to LB mate:) you out to one of the meets later?
Hey all, and thanks for the warm welcome. Not gonna be able to get out today, but hopefully soon. Brilliant weather btw.
will says hi 
Hey from a fellow newbie. I’ve got the opposite problem from you; much everything is a bit cramped! Hondas seem quite short in general; how many have you sat on?
Hi from another newbie
Im somewhere inbetween height wise but my hornet is the perfect height for me, feet plant firmly on the floor.
To put it into perspective, i was on tip-toes on my SH125 scoot :laugh:
I’m 6ft and the Varadero 125 is perfect size for me. Glad I didn’t go for the cheaper CBF or CG that is way too small for me and most people look ridiculous on these. I hope Hondas are too short in general because I got my eyes on a Hornet possibly
Well standing 5,4, Im on balls of feet on my CBR125 but comfortable, I’ve sat on a CBR600F Yreg., and am on tiptoes, need to sit on a few more I think. I know you can get them lowered but seems like a lot of hassle.
Like the look of, but havnt seen one in the flesh,VFR400,
Hello & welcome to LB
Welcome to LB shortarse! 
welcome!
shop around for a bike, I’m 5’5 and have an er6f and can get my feet down, it is worth just trying loads till you find one you feel comfortable with.
If it helps I also fit an SV and a CBF but not an R6
Welcome to LB!
As people have said lowering kits are available and there are quite a few short ladies who ride bigger bikes, so you will be in good company! Miss Mini Moto from the KTM forum was 7 stone and 5 foot tall, yet she used to race her KTM on the track and gave the blokes a run for their money:D I’m average height (5 foot 5) on a Street Triple, which I am on tiptoes on. Initially I thought of lowering it, but then just got used to the bike, so never bothered in the end. Am sure you will find a 600 to suit your height when you need to upgrade - the Hornet 600 is a good bet and a great first big bike.
