I'm 5"2... where do i begin?

[bananamushroo...]

I'm set on a Honda monkey and that feels snug (tried in a show room). Most other 125s feel gigantic and I don't have the control to keep a bike steady when I'm balancing on my tip toes.

I'm a complete beginner so still needing to book a CBT, however do most CBT places have bikes that will be small enough?

It's a laughable issue I know, any advice I appreciate

[stinkwheel]

Doesn't matter that much. You only need to get one foot down when you stop. The rest of the time you have both feet on the pegs.

I'm 6 foot but I've had a bike before I could only get one foot down with and had to do a running jump and a hop to get onto it.

I'm only 5'4 and all 125s (apart from proper enduro ones) feel like kids toys to me.

Honda Groms and the new Dax are 125s and cool to boot.

I'd have to agree with Nobby, stepping up to an MT07 for the first time felt "big" but going back to my 125 felt like toy town

A Rebel 500 should be okay at 5'2" (although I personally found it slightly cramped.)

We have a grom, it's used more by 18 year old loons than shorter students.
Plant one foot and be happy about it.
Mrs K can (and has) at 5'4" ride a ktm 790 adv with no issues.

Confidence and balance.
