I am a firm believer in no matter your size, you can ride ANYTHING! However, some bikes are naturally going to feel more comfortable for shorter riders. Personally, I am 5 ft 3 inches and petite so tall bikes feel intimidating. I like feeling in control at stoplights and on hills by having my feet touch the ground easily. Here is my list of bikes for shorter riders like me!
-
Kawasaki Ninja 400: The sexy sportsbike look that has a low seat height of 30.9 inches and a narrow frame that can accommodate riders of different sizes. It also has a lightweight design that makes it easy to handle.

4. Harley-Davidson Street 500/750: These bad ass cruisers have low seat heights of 25.7- 28 inches. They also have a comfortable riding position and a classic Harley look. This reminds me of Harleys' version of the Honda Rebel!

6. The Moto Guzzi V7 III seat height varies depending on the specific model and version. In general, the seat height of the V7 III ranges from around 30.3 inches- 31.1 inches. I fell in love with this bike while riding through the hills of Tuscany. I road it all day and was comfortable. Moto Guzzi offers different seat options such as a low seat and a comfort seat. The suspension preload can be adjusted to lower or raise the seat height slightly, which can be helpful for riders who want a more customized fit.
