Hello
I'm new to the world of motorcycles and don't yet have a licence. I've just been thinking on and off about getting it.
One of the downsides was my height. I'm only 158 cm (I believe that's about 5,2 feet), and all of the bikes I saw so far seemed to be designed for higher riders.
One bike that really stayed with me was a Yamaha YBR250 I saw around 10 years ago, and that was about the only one that seemed to be low enough for me to be able to reach the floor x)
I've noticed this forum has a lot of people that are genuinely willing to help by providing some constructive advice based on their knowledge and experiences (which I can't say was true for the other bike forums I stumbled upon so far), so I decided to join.
I searched through the forum for similar posts, but decided to open up a new thread in the end anyway since I might have some follow up questions.
So my question is, please advise which bikes would be appropriate for a new rider with smaller stature. This would also be the bike I'd potentially get my licence with.
Thanks in advance
