I am short and the way I see it ride whatever you like. CL160 is the biggest bike I have ridden where I can put both feet on the ground and walk it from the seat. Learn good balance and don't put your feet down. The Honda Rebels look really low.

Hello,
I was curious if anyone could give me their two cents on a good cafe style racer for a short rider. I am 5'3", used to have a 2002 R6 and was tip toe riding which I would really like to avoid this time around. I have since sold my R6 and am looking for a new bike and love the cafe look.
Thank you for any and all help!

You won't have any trouble reaching the ground on lots of vintage bikes, especially after you put on a racing-type seat. I'm 5'4" and I can reach the ground flatfooted on my Yamaha TX500. The seat on my bike is about 2" or 3" lower than stock.
