My girlfriend is about 5'5" tall & rides an R80GS Paralever with no problem. The only concession she's made is to have about 1" of seat foam removed & then had the seat re-covered. She's managed the bike off road in the Pyrenees with full panniers, top box & tank bag.
I'm selling my R80GS, I've had a couple of guys round to look at it, both were about your height but with very short legs, in even in relation to their height. They found it difficult to dismount the bike when fitted with panniers? I live in Oxford, you're welcome to try it out for size.
Most single cylinder trail bikes are quite tall. Those that aren't tend to have smaller engines.
