I am 5 ft 6 and a half, and weigh 12 stone , thinking to get the lowrider s, anyone out there my size ?

 

Welcome and no

 

I wouldn't worry too much about being too small for the bike. There are always things in the aftermarket that will help if you don't feel comfortable. Reduced reach seats, handlebars and what not.

 

I have a low rider and im 5' 9" weigh 160 and its a great sized bike and as long as you feel comfortable on it go for it.

 

**** man, you can handle that bike; it's not the size of the beast but the size of the beast in the man

Make it fit you if necessary; tame that beast and make it yours...

 

I'm 5-11 and the bike is perfect (in my opinion) for anyone my size, give or take 10 inches. I love my lrs. As long as your feet are completely flat when holding the bike up, I'd say you're good. You're salesman should have explained this.

 

I disagree with this advice. I have never been able to have my "feet completely flat when holding the bike up" on anything I have ridden. IMO it really depends on how comfortable/skilled you are as a rider. Sure it would be nice to be able to 'flat foot' a motorcycle. But those of us that are 'height challenged' have to adjust/allow for that fact.

Another consideration most people don't think about is that the only concern isn't seat height, but seat width can be important also.

IMO it is more important for a rider to consider skill/experience as a more important factor.

 

^But being able to flat foot your bike is the ideal. You may deviate from that at your own risk. I've seen riders only able to get one tip toe down, and they seem fine with that. It's all about your attitude towards risk.

 

i agree, but at 5-6, he should be able to flat foot it, and if that's the case he is good as far as height goes.

 

I'm 5-8 and have owned other bikes including a Sportster and a few metric bikes the Low Rider is the best riding most comfortable scoot of all of them.
