ha that was post 666^
 
Just learn to balance with one foot like Omnivore.

I'm 5'6" and I've never been able to flat foot a bike. In street boots I can tippy toe and I've never had a problem. At the track it's a little different (boots not as flexible) but I've still never had an issue.
 
Nope. Regular tire pressure, maybe even a little hard actually......But it is the coolest bike I have ever owned.. Just pushing it around in the garage, the handlebars are shoulder high.
This is the bike:

Im 5'4 as well, found the gixxers to be the lowest of the SS, but actually settled with a CBR, I thought I wasnt going to manage with the height being so high, but ive already tracked it and ridden over 2K on the street with it.....as others said, with more confidence it actually becomes quite comfortable, I like omnivore stop with one foot flat as well on street.

And he probably outrides most of us here, me definitely included in that list. Lean baby lean!
 
lol some of those styles of bikes are unbelievably high! I forget the model there was one at Kahuna...looks like it was made for a giant!
 
people need to get over the idea that they absolutely need to be able to duck walk a bike.
 
I know it's been mentioned before but you can try a Ninja 500R. I'm 5'4" and have no issues with the height. I'm on the balls of my feet when walking the bike.

That said, I always come to a stop with my left down even when riding 2up. So again, the height is not an issue.

Although the bike is not a SS or even "high tech" it's more than adequate and in the right hands it can be an extremely fun bike to ride.

OP - Good luck with your search.
