I am thinking about buying a bike, most of my friends have one too. But i am 5 feet 8 inch tall. Am i too short for a cbr 600rr. most of the sports bike is about 32 inch in height. Let me know how tall are you? and are you having any problem?

it doesnt matter how tall the bike is stock just lower it to the height you want it at...ive seen guys tippy toeing at the lights and ive seen guys where there knees arebought on the pegs, its all rider preferance, what makes you a more comfortable rider

I'm about 5'8 and have no problems with the 600rr. i tippy toe when i have both feet down otherwise i just lean it to one side and flat foot on one foot.

I'm 5' 8" and the bike fits me perfectly, i'd only be concerned if this was your first bike.

yeah, being 5'8 you're plenty tall to ride. go sit on a few and see how it feels.

btw, welcome to the forum!

Ok, I'm feeling tiny compared to you giants...[:(]

I consider myself a tall 5'6"[:)], 600rr, first bike, no problems. I can get both tippy-toes down when stopped (as long as I'm not wearing my race boots cuz of the restricted ankle movement), so you'll be fine. But like everyone else has said, it's all about personal preference and being comfortable. I also consider myself a pretty quick learner when it comes to any kind of physical activity, motor skills, etc. So I can't say it would be the same for you as a first bike, but it's worked out for me.

phoojlis -> RE: Thinking about buying 600rr, but my height.... (6/1/2006 7:50:31 AM)

5'7" 175 lb here....my heel is just a bit off the ground...perfect

mle52 -> RE: Thinking about buying 600rr, but my height.... (6/1/2006 9:02:48 AM)

I'm 5'6 (and over 50) No problems here. Hope this is not your first bike.

ashsammy -> RE: Thinking about buying 600rr, but my height.... (6/1/2006 9:20:34 AM)

look here, 5'7, 145lbs, first bike... i still don't get this whole thing about your first and second bike thing...

U people kill me! Lol. 5'3" '05 600RR, first bike, I can touch the ball of one foot, and I figured it out. Granted, I don't have as much leverage being short, so I did drop it twice last year. Both times this happened was cause I stalled trying to make a right turn. Just added incentive to concentrate and not screw up, cause as long as I do it right, everythings ducky. [:)]

discohouse -> RE: Thinking about buying 600rr, but my height.... (6/1/2006 3:58:54 PM)

i'm 5'9" and 150lbs. I can put both feet flat and seem to have leg left over. I think you'll be fine, but YOU must decide.

holycrapitshassell -> RE: Thinking about buying 600rr, but my height.... (6/1/2006 4:59:43 PM)

im 5'7" now, but i learned how to ride 4 years and 2 inches ago on a much bigger and heavier (and slower, hahaha) bike. about the same seat height though, i dropped it once, but it was just a beginner mistake, not a height thing, you're alright as far as height goes.
