I'm 5'2 1/2 and i really really badly want to get a kawasaki ninja and people tell me i'm to short..If any one knows what the height standards are and if I am to short am i able to get the seat lowered somehow??
 
Well, ms Tanya, the seat height of the 250 Ninja is only 30.5" and it weighs 374 lb. The 650 has 31.1" seat height and weighs well over 400 lb. Ask yourself if you can handle those numbers.

You might be a bit tippy-toe! That's not a good thing to be with a motorbike! The dealer would know if a lowering kit is available for any model. A good upholsterer can certainly lower the seat height by cutting down the foam padding, maybe an inch or two...though there's not much padding to begin with on a sport bike...
 
My wife is about 5'4" and she rode her first bike, a ZX-6R with no issues.

As long as you can hold the bike up with one foot on the ground you should be fine. Let the bike rest on your upper inner thigh.

The idea that you have to put both feet on the ground flat to ride is a myth created by extremist suck butts who don't even ride sport bikes.
