Hi Boo, this is Aliki Karayan from the Kawi test rise video, I just wanted to reply to your question about me being 5ft3 and being able to hop on bikes with no issue. Its all about skill, nothing more, I know a girl that is 4ft9 and rides an SV650 with no efforts. I told her about getting a lowered seat and she said "nahhh I don't need it, Im used to riding like this". She shifts into first gear OFF the bike with the clutch in, then puts her leg over the bike (her bum is right off the seat). when she gives it gas she just shoves her bum on the seat. When she comes to a stop she shoves her butt over and puts one foot down. Talk about inspiring!!! When I come to a stop or start I just have one foot on the ground with my butt slightly over to the side. Its very easy, it just takes a little getting used to.......Don't let anyone think that you cannot do something that they can. If a 4 ft 9 lady can ride a Goldwing, thats saying a lot
