My wife is 5'3" and has a pretty short inseam that limited her bike choices. She liked the Ninja 250 (1st gen) cause it has a 29 in seat height but after all is said it goes back to confidence, like Lauralynne. If they can muster enough confidence or master the butt slide the seat height isn't that big an issue. Weight of the bike on the other hand sometimes is with the height impaired as it has to lean a great deal further when one footing it.

That's her problem or where the lack of confidence comes in, is the leaning on one foot with the weight of the bike, she's struggled on a few occassions to keep it upright at a stop sign. I need to find out what her inseam is. The ninja 500 has a dry weight of 388lbs, the GSXR and CBR 600s are 354 and 345 dry which might be just enough of a difference to give her an added bit of confidence in those type of situations. or she could just wear the KIZZ boots and be done with it LOL....
