Hi Ladybird...
I'm 5ft 7 ish...(could be 8!)
I ride a 750ss that I lowered slightly by 1cm. I still can't plant my feet firmly on the floor and have dropped it 3 times (stop s******ing you lot...I can hear you!)
On a more upright bike...the hubbies turareg I can't touch the floor AT ALL there is about 3 inches of hovering...the bike is lighter so I could easily hop from one side to the other, lean it more and it is more upright. NO WAY could I do that with the duke.
If you really are unsure...test drive a monster...CK manages perfectly and phoenix has just bought one. You are more upright and feel more stable.
Actually where about's are you...
Went to power sports at Clay cross yesterday and they've got a Loverlee little monster Dark 600...it's on at about £1,500. Bargain if you ask me AND they have a sale on this weekend...
I can't seem to find the web address but I'm sure someone on here will have it.

Oh and if you're buying mines a Large drambuie thanxs
Lisa
