I prefer to describe myself as "slightly taller than Tom Cruise" rather than "short".
Burnnnnnnnn! Love it
Lucky
Vertically challenged is what i say.
So you're 4'11? 😂
I prefer to describe myself as "exactly the same size as Tom Cruise" rather than short.
I'm 5'4" with my boots on, & can tell you it's not just about seat height, seat width also plays a huge factor in selecting a motorcycle when you're vertically challenged.
yup. I have touring scooter with a very wide seat. however it appears to be low. but when you sit just tippy toes touch, i'm 5'10
Exactly this
This is so true tho. I am 5’2” and I wanted the ninja 400. But it was way too wide for me to even get one foot down flat. The dealership recommended I try the r3 and that was much easier to handle, despite them both having a pretty similar seat height.
It’s a 35 year old bike, so maybe not a helpful recommendation, but the Honda Hawk NT650 is the bike I ride and I’m 5’3”. It’s super narrow and has a decently short seat height. Wish they made street or sport bikes its size.
Now do a video on the top 7 bikes that 6 foot 3+ ppl dont look goofy on
yes please lol
Big fat sport tourers like the fjr 1300, Concourse 14, k1600 GT/ GTL, st1300.
Even then, we still look a bit odd.
Buy a super moto or a giant expensive harley or a busa with an extended swing arm
There is no motorcycle that TALL people look goofy on, 💪🏽
...other than your child's cute tricycle . 🍭
This!
"Top 7 Motorcycles for short riders"
Me, 5'2": *immediately looks for my dream starter bike in the timestamps*
trust me...look no further than the rebel 500...the confidence you ll get from learning on it is priceless...also it can do highway speed with ease, so you can keep it for a long time or sell off and move on
Don't be affraid to lower a motorcycles suspension in order for you to feel more comfortable and confident. My 2016 Suzuki gsx600r was lowered 1" by the first owner, it feels good to me (5'4") so I never changed it back.
I got the Scout Bobber last year. Comes with one of the worst seats I've ever sat on (luckily there's like a whole industry of aftermarket seats lol), but the bike is incredible. No shortage of power, very low centre of gravity, decent storage if you're getting the regular Scout, and the mini-ape bars are very comfortable.
@@MrKlein83how would you go about getting the suspension lowered?
@@tristanredding6750 I highly recommend you have a shop/mechanic lower the suspension on a motorcycle. Depending on the motorcycles setup it can be an easy DIY job, BUT suspension is NOT something you want to mess up. Have a mechanic do the job for you & ALSO have them setup the suspension for your weight & riding style. So many people never have their bikes suspension set up for them.
5'1" getting my first bike in nine hours. Your videos have been very helpful, if only y'all were Ohio based
What bike did you get?
Used Honda shadow 750 probably the best bang for the buck motorcycle in the world.
Slip in clip of M. Bison from street Fighter cartoon: YESSS!
I'm 5'6" with short Hobbit legs and I have the Indian Scout Bobber and it fits perfectly. I've been interested in getting a sport bike next and the Ninja 400 and 500 I think are great starts for me. Thanks Yam
I'm 5'2 with a 28" inseam. Currently I have a GSX-R600. I didn't lower it, but I did end up putting bar risers on it. Before that I had a stock Street Triple.
650 yamaha vstar custom. Change out the stock exhaust and back fendor with blue collar bobber rear and seat, shorty pipes.
Recarb it, and you lost 70 lbs, increased hp by about 20, and the bike becomes a monster.
25 inch seat height, 100 hp now and weight around 420 lbs.
My first bike was a 98' Vstar 650 custom, decent first bike, a lot better than a Rebel 250.
Flat footing my Street Bob 114 while being 5'5" is always a nice feeling too
Finally! I was waiting for this video to happen. I’m 5’ 8” but all torso and no legs. I can’t even get on an adv bike without having to lean it halfway down.
Love your content keep it up
Width of bike is almost as important as seat height. My dad had a Softail that had a 24.5 inch seat height but it was approximately 18 feet wide.
I sat on a Rebel 500 & 1100; but felt awkward. Fell in love soon as I sat on a Honda Shadow Spirit 750 and went through the gears!
I'm a 5'6 rider and I have a 2023 Indian scout rogue and it has enough power to make me happy. I started on a Honda monkey and the seat height on that was taller than the scout. I love everything about the scout though. I went from 9 horsepower to 100 and it was a very easy transition.
Looking forward to your review on the
Triumph Speed 400 😎
Good little video Yam. As someone who is 5'6" I was a little intimidated to get on a big bike. I settled on the Honda Africa Twin, followed by a Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP2 and then needed a third bike because the world is ending anyway...picked up a 30th anniversary Fireblade which surprisingly seems to have the best standover for me.
did you lower the africa twin?
@@aritradas7154Nope. To top it off my left leg is partially paralyzed and does not work very well, hence why I went with a DCT bike for my 1st. Once I figured out I could ride I picked up the two other bikes and put adaptive shifters on them.
I just have to kinda butt scoot to one side of the Africa Twin with I stop or I can kinda tip toe it with both feel down, but barely.
shocked that the vulcan s didn’t make this list especially since there are 3 factory seats and handlebar options for different heights. I’m 5’1 with about a 25” inseam and as long as i’m in boots, i can flat foot. I currently have the standard seat and bars as i can’t afford to upgrade to the reduced reach ones yet but i did switch to the reduced reach peg position as it only required a shorter shift rod but it was already a more comfortable foot position. the vulcan also has the same engine as the ninja 650 so it will absolutely rip if you really want it to but at the same time is a great beginner bike. im glad it has the reduced reach options though because even though the standard seat and bars are comfortable enough, I definitely notice some shoulder soreness after about an hour and I also find that I'm sitting far up on the seat near the tank but it's nice to know that can all be fixed with the shorter options they have.
Im sorry but there is no Haya-BUSA on this list, therefore i will not consider this a real list.
As much as they are hated my first bike was an 06' Vulcan 500 and the seat height was one of the main reasons for that choice it was also cheap and reliable for a carborated engine 😅
I'm a 5'5" male with a 27 inch inseam. Dang short legs! But I ride a 2018 Suzuki SV650, height plays a small part in actually riding. The only time height matters is at stops where my 6'3" brother in law proceeds to laugh at me for tippy toeing my bike.
I'm a 5' 8" learner, my Triumph Trident fits like a tailor made suit. 1
I'm the same height and all my life I felt like it was very average to be honest. BUT there are some bikes that when I sat on top just make me feel like a toddler swinging my legs in the Air 😂 I'm yet to try a Trident but it's going into my list ✌🏻
I know you've got something against Harley, but a good option for those intermediate riders wanting to crush miles, the Heritage Classic has a 114ci Milwaukee 8, saddle bags, cruise control and almost every other feature you'd find on a Road King but a low low seat height of 26.3"
first mention I've heard of the side stand being the stalling issue you had. Makes almost obvious sense. Easy fix,a little stronger spring and good to go. Not such a terrible bike issue after all.
Or just bypass it lmao
Nice video Yammie, now one for the bulky guys then the tall ones xD
im just average-height for my country 5'9 / 10 but very bulky, i love my indian scout but def sometimes feels small for me there are forward-controls for it out there tho.
Suspension wise not a great choice for a heavy guy either but the scouts stock suspension sucks anyway, maybe they'll fix that with the updated scout coming out next month
I dont see myself on a sports bike, that would look ridiculous imo, a big wide man on a small aerodynamic bike kinda defeats the purpose no?
There is a sportsbike for me out there tho... BUSA BABY, Eddie Hall did make it look small tho !!! xD
I could see myself on some adventure or touring type bikes too, if they arent too high
Monster 821's seat can be lowered with a quick seat adjustment to around 30.5. First bike i have owned that i could actually flat foot at 5'6"
I thought my height would be an issue but after seeing a dwarf on a larger harley suddenly I was convinced I could ride anything even a boss hoss without much problem. You can ride anything don't let it be what stops you from getting what you like get what you're comfortable with
I was wondering if a video like this was coming soon
Start on a trials bike. No seat so no problem. Learn superior balance, clutch and throttle control with your local trials club.
I'm 5'6 and ride a Yamaha T7 with stock suspension and seat height.
Nice same height here and currently learning to Dance with a ktm 1290 s, how the bike holds its weight makes a huge difference in your ride when your shorter more balance needed but anything is possible if handled correctly
Triumph Tiger 900 GT low seat height is 30.3- nice and low for an adv, although I consider it more of a sport tourer as it comes with street tires.
The Kawasaki Eliminator 450 is a good one for shorter riders, don’t forget !
Triumph had the Street Triple LR around 2019. The "LR" stand for "Low Ride" height. At 5'5 I hope there's still a couple brand new ones on some lots I can trade my 2021 MT-07 towards.
Lets go short kings
The Kawasaki Eliminator is a Awesome fun bike that's fits smaller people very very well
Uugggllyy tho. Vulcan S is better
@@rajeevgangal542 You know whats beautiful, opinions! I also like the Vulkin but I don't like the forward controls. More important than looks is comfort, I rode motocross, so I def prefer mid controls. I love my Eliminator
I love my Rokform I've dropped my bike with my phone attached to the bars and it has always been safe
When you're taller than Cartman but shorter than Kevin Hart.
People are often surprised how I can easily handle kawasaki Vulcan when taller ones are initially intimidated
Now Noob you need to do a list of bikes for taller riders since I'm over 6ft tall and always looking for a bike that fits me
Love your content but can't understand your hate for the Vulcan S, I absolutely love mine, bought it after testing 30 different bikes at Daytona bike week this year.
I need a modded Honda shadow 750 in my life, new bars and a seat would go a long way imo
I've got a 2001 shadow spirit and the only thing I think it needs is another 15hp lol
What about the BMW R1250RS? It's a sport touring bike with an optional low seat that brings the seat height to just around 30'' according to BMW themselves.
5'9 with a 30 inch inseam, I thought going with a 33.1" seat height would be miserable, but nah. It's not so bad. just makes it trickier to back into parking spots but I just hop off the bike and push it in. Besides that, riding tall bikes is just adjusting your butt to the left side so you can get your foot down when stopped.
That's cool Royal Enfield figured out why the Himalayan was cutting out on you.
As someone who has a Triumph Street Twin, it’s good for shorter people. I’m 6ft with 34” inseam and I feel like I’m squatting if I put on a shorter seat. (It came with two).
Now please do a tall rider variation that’s not just adv bikes!!
I'm not Horizontally challenged not vertically. Anyways great Video!
Men, i ride a dual sport bike which is xpulse 200, note that i m a 5'5 rider and the bike is slightly tall for me still on highway its good, bt for off-road trials its slightly difficult to maneuver, any tips for that ??
What about the Kawasaki Eliminator 500? Very good option...
I am about 5:10 with a 28 inch inseam and my first motorcycle has a 36 nearly 37 inch seat height.
Once again, like many reviews, you left out the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 which also has a low seat. Yes, it is heavier than the ones you mentioned, but it's also one that can take you beyond the "new rider" category so you aren't left buying another motorcycle later.
"Vertically challenged" 😆
Go with kawasaki vulcan 900. Greatest bang for your buck.
Now you've gotta do one for tall people
What about a Harley Davidson ST or Road Glide ST
Also, the Shorties might want to look into raised shoe insoles. They can help.
Like that short senator from Florida, "Rubio". 👌
Daytona M-Star GTX boots have a built-in 2.5cm (1") insole lift and are extremely high quality and protective.... they're expensive, but you gotta pay to play.
I have the shadow phantom 2019 love it to death I’m 5’6
What's good for the tall and long legged.
Thinking about getting a 2024 honda cb300r im 5'4
have you ridden the Bajaj Dominar 400
What up, Yam!?! What up, Squids?!? Check your tire pressures, throw on the gear, and get riding.
Can't right now. Tornado watch going on.
snowed today.
Is there a non-adventure short rider motorcycle that isn't cramped up where your knees are at hip level?
what about the R7 ???
I mean I like the bike I have, and it has a respectable pull.. but the R7 is an easy back into the saddle if you are between bikes.
the R7 is so affordable one could afford to pull a new one down for custom paint.
no Nightster on the list either ? ....could have done a Top10
Do tall riders next
I have a very short friend who ride a yamaha bolt
still looks good on her
you forgot the tiger 900 gt and street triple...both have low versions from factory...the low tiger is much better than low gs...the gs is wider and feels top heavy
cb400 vtec best screamer low seat height
What about turbo busa?🤔
Not sure why people get so bent out of shape about seat height. The manufacturer specs on my dirt bike state the seat is nearly 38" tall and honestly I never even thought about it.
That outro 😂
6'4 here and just started, help a brother out😂
Honda CTX 700. 28” seat height.
dont let yammie sweet-talk you about the ninja 400! yammie still hates kawasaki!
And Suzuki V-Stroms
I'm 4'6 which one would fit me the best i don't really care about how fast it is
Shorter beginner sport bikes are a good thing (insert mid-2000s DDP meme here), but where there's a will, there's a way. Evidence of this is a video I once saw of a midget riding a CBR600RR in traffic in which at stop lights he would hop off the bike as he came to a stop with one foot still on the peg and jump back on it as he took off.
Ffs no mention of the Fury? It's a low rider...with forward controls that are very comfortable. 1300cc, but it's got really smooth power delivery, it shouldn't scare newer riders. Very good looking bike, and fun to ride once you get used to the rake. My personal choice for a cruiser. Smooth as hell and people love it.
No, I’m not short. Yes, I will share this with my short friends :)
Do 1 for tall people please
And now something for the tall boys (over 6'2'') Pls :)
How about fir the tall riders?
We need 1 for tall riders, please I'm getting tired of low bikes
You forgot speed triple 765. Literally perfect for short riders.
My Softail slim is pretty low
Kawasaki Vulcan Classic at 26"
and guys with short legs, 30" inseam here.
well, I guess I could be considered on the short side, but there are shorter people than me with longer legs.
Hi bro from India
1st comment big fan yammie
hello from vietnam
Too bad we don't get most of the large displacement scooters that are available in other parts of the world. They tend to have lower seat heights that would be good for shorter riders.
Not being short myself I don't have to worry about it.
Because scooters are not motorcycles
@@deedle6073 if it's got a 400 cc or larger it definitely is , don't be such a gatekeeper .
My wife sold her mt03 for the rebel 500 and she is sooo much more confident on it. I have a hard time to keep up with her on the montain (me being on a t700) bitch will pull away while leaving a stream of sparks from the pegs xDD
He missed out the Vulcan S ???
Vulcan S
Im vertically handicapped.
I would like to buy a motorcycle but my parents have forbidden it. I've been riding dirt hikes since I was 5 and I'm 16 I don't really get it
31.5" for the gen 3 busa, just sayin
What about tall riders now?
Grom squad
Busa has a 31.5 seat height. Buyabusa
I'm 5'1 . Been riding for 13 years now. I usually choose 250ccm since they are not so heavy and have enough power and vmax for all roads. Also the insurance is lower than for bigger bikes. Now I ride a very much lowered ninja 250, both front and back were lowered. I can get one foot flat on the ground if I move my ass a little bit from the seat 😂 it was my dreambike since 2008...
I can also tiptoe on a Ducati scrambler 800, cbr500.
Previously had Kawasaki el250b (pretty sure the new eliminator would suit me too), CBR 125, CBR 250, Suzuki GS 500 (cafe racer, so the frame was cut etc).
Someone is claiming to be you on facebook, claiming to give away a brand new rocket 3 gt because the crew doesn’t want it.
5’4” 170lbs fat, ride a cbr600rr just fine, its perfectly doable short bros
I'm 5'4" with my boots on, inseam is "midget", I had a 08' cbr600rr. Doable yes, but not always ideal especially with gravel on the road.
Now do a video on bikes good for people over 6 ft and don't do it based on stupid seat height
How come people who still need help getting the cookies off the top shelf dont get govt assistance? Feels like a blatant oversight to me.
