But nothing is impossible! Mostly, motorcycles with less power are smaller and lower when it comes to seat height. When the seat height isn’t lower they are at least lighter in weight which can make a great contribution to your confidence on the bike. Does that mean that short riders or shorter women can only ride lighter and smaller bikes? Certainly not! But it can help when you just started riding. Bigger isn’t always better. Consider, for example, the Kawasaki Ninja 400R with a seat height of 78.5 cm or a Honda CBR 300R with a height of 78 cm. Both bikes weigh between 170 and 180 kilos with a full tank and reach a topspeed of 160 to 170 kilometers per hour.
