R1 streetbike engine

Yea, 6'2'' I guess you wouldn't have a problem lol. I'm almost a foot shorter than that. As for the guy who is 5'5'' riding the Harley, aren't Harleys a lot lower to the ground anyway? I've sat on a couple of CBRs and I have to lean the bike a little bit and hold it up with one foot. Can't tip toe the thing with both feet, soooo close though. I don't wanna lower it and screw up the geometry of the bike or limit myself when doing wheelies.

THe Harley is WIDE and he has those foot guards on it which add about 8 inches to the width too. I wish I had a pic of him. Looks like a pi$$ ant on an elephant. I sat on it and it was heavy compared to my bike. He had it dock weighed with gear on at about 900lbs. Thats a monster to lean on.

You can buy a lowering kit for a bike. Mostly women have them put on thier bikes but it would work for anyone under 5'5". Real low to the ground. Might have some clearence issues if you ride over speed bumps. And the top speed that were guess were a little off. MY 600F3 will do 160.

hutchies, i heard lowering kinda screws up the geometry of the bike. also, makes wheelies a little harder on the bike. trying to avoid lowering one, although i've heard of women shorter than me doing fine on lowered bikes.
