Which bike for shorter riders ?
I am an ex scooter boy (Lambretta) and have attended many scooter rallies, so I know a little bit about preparing for trips on an unreliable machine.
I now hope to go further afield on a real bike and was wondering which bike to go for. I want a 'dualsports' bike but I often read "not for shorter riders" in magazine reviews. Are quoted seat heights a good indication of suitability, or can I rule a bike out this way?
I am about 5'7", with an inside leg of about 30". Are there any similar sized riders out there who can share their experiences, or are you all 6 footers? I don't want to save up for a R1150GS only to find I have to carry a stepladder everywhere!
Cheers,
Owl.
