Choosing a bike when you're short can be a mindnumbing task. You need to look at the heights of the seats of the bikes you're interested in, and whether or not they can be lowered easily. Cycle-Ergo is an awesome motorcycle ergonomics simulator. You simply enter your height and select the make and model bike you're interested in, and it will show you the angles and how you will fit on the bike. Below is a list of stock heights and weights of some popular motorcycles. Borrowed from VTwinMama General Notes Organization: by style and then ascending Seat Unladen height Seat Laden: 180 lb rider on the bike Seat Unladen: No rider on the bike (* reflects 1" added to Laden Height as other data not available) Weight: * means dry weight (no fluids in it; add about 25 lbs. for wet weight) NIP: Not In Production Cruisers
