Height isn't as important as leg length.
I'm 5ft 6 and have 28" legs, proper stumpy! If you have 30-31"+ legs you will have a large advantage.
The riding school gave me a gs500 for my DAS back in the day with a lower saddle, they had it carved out for dwarves like me did the trick.
First bike was a shock though, cbr600f sport, 810mm seat height or so, i was on tip toes.
Every bike ever since has been the same you get used to it, don't be put off.
Enquire with your school about a low bike. Though when you turn up for training they will do their best to get you comfortable anyway, probably have a lowered bike for shorties, or perhaps a low seat option etc. |

765mm with a 28" inside leg you won't be flat footed but you'll not be wobbling on tippytoes either. I know from stumpy experience

Brilliant gif, I found the video

Have seen more regular shorter people doing similar with a big off road bike, its worth being able to do it anyway for unexpected awkward moments. |

How did that person get from not being able to get on the bike to being able to do that?! Surely the learning process must involve a lot of falling off? |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 195 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
