Hi Ladybird
Not sure if I qualify as a oldie or not as I'm younger than some on this site and older than others.

I got into Ducati ownership a few short years ago and have never regretted it. I say go and get one but at 5' 3" it may have to be a monster, though I'm sure a 748/749 and a like can be altered to suit. We lowered a 600SS for Senna3's wife a couple of years ago which would have suited somebody of your height.
