You can ride a hayabusa if u want

Answer 3

Hey Web,

Size is not much of a limiting factor - it can be got round on any bike (put this question in the discover box and see how many other shorties want to get on big-ish bikes)

Experience is a HUGE factor in what you should be riding. You  will get a bigger kick out of riding a bike you feel comfortable on (and can push to it's limits) than feeling over awed by a bike that is in effect a racing machine.

See your other question for clarification.

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Sure most professional racers are jockey sized. Plus race bikes are raised on their suspension to make them even taller to increase clearance, although theyre riding on a chunk of foam rather than the original seat. Still at least as tall as a stocker.

Answer 6

You could ride it but it would be dangerous in starts and while stopping because you could not hold the bike in an upright position with your feet on the ground.  Either get it lowered or start smaller.  Since your asking the question it means you don't know about sport bikes so start small.........

Answer 7

I agree with 51. No. Its to big a bike.

Also, in your other weid question, you said you have never ridden a bike before. I'm guessing to have no idea how fast and powerful an R1 is.
