Short Rider Tips from a Short Sportbike Rider

it's yogurt on my pants you nasties..

There are more short people than tall people. Is there a reason bike manufacturers don't design bikes for the most people?

I'm 5ft 5 in and have been riding for a few years. 1971 to be exact. Got a ZH2 which I feel is not only stupid tall but also top heavy. Heavy has never been an issue. Top heavy is. I had a pair of new balance shoes that were too small for me. I cut the sole off it and bought some logger boots that in themselves give me a 2 in lift. Logger boots are 1 1/2 sizes too big. Dropped the new balance sole into the logger boot adding another inch. Walking feels 95% natural, riding feels 100% normal. Worked like a charm.

I'm 5.2" and my bike is 790mm height but light weight and not wide, still I fall alot since it's my first bike start riding starting from scratch about riding, now im ok with it.

How tall are u bro?

Short rider king

My height is 146 cm can you suggest a suitable superbike for my height?

Is 5'11 tall enough for most sport bikes?

I dont understand how you're recommending a bmw to short people tho?

What is your height

Can someone tell me how awkward riding a suzuki gsxr1000 will be as a 5'6 guy? I'm considering buying it but idk man

how about hieght incresing by some good shoes???

I’m 5 foot nothing, trying to ride a Yamaha R3. Any tips? 😅😢

Scribbles on a motorcycle. lol.

I'm a 5'4" rider and I always felt that I was stuck in the cruiser world because of it lol I'm really considering a GSX-R750 now though

I m 5.3f n comfortable driving r15 v4

thanks dad, short ass Filipino here, biggest fear about getting a bike was standing on my tippy toes. Gonna look at those 3 bikes you mentioned XD

Haha not short wife is 4’10 that’s short.

Yooooo…We’re the same high!!! I’m planning to get myself into bikes soon, and I was planning to go with the Yamaha R7. What are your thoughts? Since you already own an r6

Looking for my 1st bike next year. The ninja400 and r7 caught my eye. But i keep seeing 600's for a good price. Knowing me tho. As broke as i am, ill probably end up starting off on a 600 for a good price. Yall pray for me. Im scared as hell

What's your inseam???

I wish some motorcycles company will produce those lower seat on sport or naked bike .
That way we won’t sacrifice the safety , comfort and performance for short rider .

I'm 5'4 and have a Ducati Streetfighter V4. Getting off the bike sucks because I can't reach the kickstand to put it down. LMAO miracle grow doesn't work!

Im 5'4 and my dream bike is an R6😂

I'm like 5'6, imm just lower the panigale imma get like 2 inches😅

Lol 5'3 n my right leg is 4 inches shorter than the other so left side i choose..lol

What's the inseam pare? I'm 5'5" but my inseam is 29"

What do y’all recommend for someone that 5 foot

Don’t waste money on cherifer or miracle grow fr

me who is less than 1m60 and want to ride a supermot who is 89cm high 😭so not that possible i think even if they are the specific model of bikes that reflet what i love the most on a bike , the shape , wheelies , lightweight , mono cyl .. well i think i'm gonna drive with a honda cbr because it's not high even if i don't really want a 4 cyl sportbike 😅

How tall are you

5'5 still taller than me xD

As a former gixxer owner, I don’t like all the hate he piles on them. But damn, it’s not quite an adobo moto video without them.

As a person with a shorter wife, I'm always looking at videos to help shorter riders, but on this one, as you shorter folks have to learn these techniques, know that YOU are the blessed ones when it comes to sportbikes, once underway, which is the majority of the time. The ergos are set up for Mark Marquez and other guys the size of horse jockeys. Even Rossi had to have his bikes' ergos made very differently for him, as a guy who'd be tiny standing next to the average guy was still a giant in the MotoGP paddock. Pure sport bike? Smaller folks are at an overall advantage everywhere except the parking lot. I'm not extremely tall at 6', but I might as well be the Jolly Green Giant on a supersport. My elbows bump into my knees.

hahahahahha this is why most Filipino even me want to own and ride a Gixxer 😂

i would totally drop that bike on that incline😂

I'm 163m can i rid big bike?

How you tall bro😊

Hay do you no any lowering links im 5,6 bike is to high lol can you help I don’t no what use

My bike is lowered. 1" in front and 1 3/8" in rear. Its rides/drives much better than stock. Lower center of gravity is a thing.

Very interesting video. whats thé name of the shoe he's wearing

When you’re 4’8” and most cbt (uk motorcycle training) places refuse you because they don’t have small enough bikes :,) crushing my dreams

I wanted a cbr500r but i'm 5'3', I went to a dealership, but because i was on the tip of my toes the guy didn't wanted to sell it to me, he instead insisted on a rebel...

I think you would look great in high heels!😅😎

yup thats me. I did the seat shave 🤙🏽

All hail the tippy toe gang

Short kings try harder. When he's tip-toeing on one foot on an enduro 😻🌊

The easiest way to solve this problem, buy a lowered and stretched Ninja H2 or a Turbo Busa, and they’re the fastest bikes in the world(no way any fast on track)

If you are short dont buy heavy ass sports or advs, go for mid category sports, scramblers, cafe racers etc. If you tip toe with a pillion you'll certainly tip the motorcycle
