My respectful advice - don't underestimate the unhappiness that a too high bike can cause, especially if ridden day in and day out. The world is full of off camber curves, gutters, and a myriad of other city and country surface imperfections that can leave a foot dangling in the air if you have to stop beside or on top of them, with precarious results. Try backing up a loaded motorcycle even a short distance up a modest incline if all of your traction comes from a couple of toes (or one) on the ground. And the laws of physics dictate that a small person will have less of a chance of keeping a heavier, taller motorcycle upright once it starts to drop, even at very low speeds, or no speed at all.
