Jill Hi

Am 5ft 2 a small fellow.

Here's me on an SCG (terrible picture :roll:) I hope it gives you some idea of how well it suits the shorter rider, if you have any issues with either the SCG or the XB9SX (with lower seat) it may be as mentioned the width not the height.

Image

I have also tried an XB9SX with the lower seat & had no problem reaching floor with one foot, like riding any bike its just confidence, I live in London & commute so being able to put me feet down does come in handy, if you don't live in a city or ride in one everyday it's not going to be such an issue if it is at all, well not on this Buell anyway.

Best of luck with the sell there Caveman... those rims are bright !!! lOl

Hey, thanks for that. I really need to try out different bikes and see which one I find best for me.

Note to everyone..... if you see a female swinging her leg over your Buell, don't worry too much, it will only be me trying it out for size.... LOL

Your most Welcome ...I don't put my ugly mug on the internet for many reasons, this seemed like a good one ...as I go through just what I suspect you are going through on every bike you try ...can I touch the floor !!! & I always thought being short was only fun when dancing !!! :yup:

Mrs Adam is 5' 4'' and has no probs with a Ss Long. I've narrowed the foam in the seat a bit and she has no probs at all.


Ah but Adam, dont forget an inch to a woman can be the difference between 'is it in yet' and 'oh my god Kev' :rofl: :rofl:

hey guys

Due to lack of interest I am going to post it on other sites to hopefully gain more interest. The tape looks blinding because of the camera flash but is just red reflective tape.

Oh did not make it clear but i am not looking for another bike so not looking to PX.

thanks

Cavey.
