looking for a 400 sports bike with a low ride height

[rumpleforeskin]

like the title says, anyone have any recomendations?

girlfrind passed her CBT recently and is now looking for a bike, but being only 5ft tall its difficult finding something she is comfortable riding... so any suggestions?

get her a cbr 400rr (baby blade)....... then try and keep up with her on the twistys!

GPZ600R 'A ladies bike' as the Germans kept reminding me at Assen one year!



Seriously it does have a low seat height that you sit in...

I had an imported 1990 GSXR400 as one of my first bikes. Was great fun, easy to throw about, looked good too in blue and silver. My missus is 5' 2 and she had no problem regarding height when she tried it. Dunno if its rubbish but I think I remember someone telling me a lot of the imported 400's have a lower ride height making them suitable for those with shorter legs

The revvy 400's are not great bikes for new riders, IMO you are asking for an OFF, better have a 600 like a GPX600, so cheap and easier to ride than a buzz bomb.

I had an FZR 400, cheap to buy and insure, You can restrict them but theres seriously no point. You'll upset alot of people on one aswell, i used to piss off litre bikes on mine.
It was very loud and very short.
