Question

I am 5"3 1/2 " tall.. I dont want anything but a harley .Am i tall enough to ride one?

Answer 1

yes, go see the dealer, they will find one for you

Answer 2

Look for something with a low seat height.  You could get a lowering kit, but these could change the handling and reduce ground clearance.

The Sportster series have low seat heights.

The Sportster 883 low has a seat height of 23.5"

The Sportster 1200 low has a seat height of 28", which might be a little high.

For someone with short legs seat height is very important, especially with a heavy cruiser style bike.  If the seat height s too high, you may need to lean the bike a bit to put your feet on the ground.  You can easily lose your balance and drop your bike.  It is best if you can sit on the bike with both feet flat on the ground.

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

maybe a small sportster!

Answer 5

Check out the Softail Deluxe, It sits very low to the ground, and has the big fron tend which makes it very easy to ride.

Answer 6

sure are, there are some new sportsters that are super low to the ground...and they look very nice.

theres a buell low too, but i think youd like the flat black sportster i seen at the dealer.

Answer 7

Why do you "only want a Harley"??? Go to some other dealerships, and talk to people, and sit on some other bikes. You might be surprised that they fit you better! Yamaha v-star 650 perhaps? There are many good motorcycles out there... be open-minded enough to explore all your possibilities. Don't buy into the Harley hype. Not that they aren't very good motorcycles, they are! But there are other good bikes out there, too!

Answer 8

absolutely.... i have a buddy that's 5 foot f*ck all, and he rides a road king with apes

go sit on some seats and see what your *ss fits best on

Answer 9

you can get a harley.a harley can be lowered so low my 10year old grand son can reach ground and bars now go for it be safe

Answer 10

yes, harley only makes cruisers...which typically have very low seats...you should have no problems...

good luck on your rattle trap...
