Hiya!

i have looked at crusiers but they are much too heavy for me and too large for london traffic...

what sports bikes do you reckon would be good?

i have experience, and would prefer something relatively light that has a low seat due to my height, needs to be available in the UK.
I really like the Buell Blast however it isnt available in the UK. Its also VEEERY pricy, so the cheaper the better!

Thanks Guys!

I dont want a moped or a scooter and as im doing my full test this summer, above 125cc is good. maybe 250. can be higher!!
btw currently have a honda sky which is 50cc.
 
go to a show room on a rainy day and sit on some to try some out for size..

loads of people can touch the ground.. but not reach the handle bars as they are harder to reach on a sports bike.. but you can get a handlebar riser etc..

Maybe try a suzuki GSX650F then restrict it or something along them lines

GoodLuck
 
you prolly have to get the seat shaved down and suspension dropped a little. most of the newer bikes out have 31-33" seat heights,leaving you with little choice. if you have exp though then you should be able to ride a taller bike no prob. my ex was 5'3" and rode my RC51 all the time. she would ride track days too!! but she was was always on one foot dirt bike style at the stops. i had my HawkGt seat shaved and she could tip-toe both feet but she didnt like the it, not enough power for her. you could prolly get a CBR600 F4i and shave the seat. my friend who happens to be 5'1" has a Kawasaki ZX6r that she had lowered a bit and shaved the seat. that bike she had dropped the front and the rear as they are both adjustable, but that messes with the suspension geometry. good luck to ya!
