Can a 5" ride a sports bike or must that person ride a cruiser?

Question

I'm 5" and I just passed my msf safety course. The only thing I can remotely put both foot down is the rebel the the suzuki S40. But I really would prefer a sports bike. Can it be done? if so which would anyone of you recomened?

Answer 1

5 inches, not sure the size of your unit matters for bike choice, perhaps you meant 5'. It can be done if youre 5 foot. i know a lady who started with a 250 ninja now she rides a gsxr600 i doubt shes an inch over 5 feet.

Answer 2

Whether 5" or 5', if the rider is able to control the bike, it can be done.

I know a MotoGP rider who is 5' 2, his name is Dani Pedrosa and he has no problems with the bike.
