VFR400 NC35,CBR400,ZXR400...which one of these would be more suitable for the vertically impaired,especially an 8 stone soaking wet 5 foot girlie, Unfortunately I'm biased and would say the VFR,but if anyone has an honest opinion I'd be very interested to hear it............

No it's gotta be 400,firstly for the insurance,secondly because she's worried about the weight,picking it up etc.....arseholes round here wouldn't help her when she dropped the CBR125!so a 400 is probably the max.

slabside 11's are pretty low

but agree with most others - 5' will be hard to fit to a sportsbike. Especially for a new rider - not worth losing nerve because you cant touch the floor!

If in doubt ....

CHOP IT :D :cool:
