Sportbikes...How Tall?

Question

Hello,

I plan to get a bike within the next couple of months and i was wondering how tall you needed to be to ride one of the 600s.

Im looking for only info on:

gsxr600, yzf-r6, cbr600rr, and maybe the zx-6r.

Im 5"6 without shoes and wondering if i will fit on any one of these bikes without trying to lower it. If you have one of these bikes and your also small tell me how tall you are and how comfortable you are.

Thanks,

Answer 1

You will find that all bikes are different, and many have adjustable rear suspension. The best thing for you to do is to go down to the dealer and sit on the different models you are looking at. You will find that posture, seat comfort, and height are all different so finding your fit may take some time. Also look at how long your typical ride will be. Anything past two hours and things like seat padding and handle bar height become issues.

Answer 2

YESH

Most bikes' seat heights hover just above 30". I'm 5' 11" and I fit on any bike quite fine. Actually, the R1 I ride is a slight reach sometimes. A 2008 Ninja 250R is a little too low for me. A 600cc bike like the GSXR600 feels just right.

Lowering a bike is not that big a deal.
