So my boyfriend has recently bought a bike, and I love riding with him.
I grew up on dirt bikes and old school trail bikes etc.
But iam 5'1" and want a real bike now..
Any suggestions?

I say, I am a R6 fan...so go with that. Just top it down, good size and awesome ride! You cant trick them out pretty good too! check mine out at the readers rides section. On the main page, thats what you could do but yeah my suggestion is Def. R6.

my girl's 5' and we got her a KLX140 for the dirt, and she's on a lowered Ninja 250 for the street. it's light, low and plenty powerful for her.

the new kawasaki er-6n gas a seat height of 29.7
2009 250s seat height is 30.5
you can easily get lowering links for almost anything out there too

the er-6n only has one lowering link available, and it only will lower it a half-inch.
we had a custom one built from Roaring Toyz for the ninja 650/er-6, but we couldn't get it low enough b/c of the weird linkage.
the 250 will slam all the way to the ground.
apparently the newer GSX-Rs can slam waaay down and still maintain some geometry too.
shaving the seat = sore ass!

I still can't believe they gave a bike the same initials as the emergency room. I test rode one and quite liked it but am faaaar too superstitous.

gsxrs are easy to lower, especially the brand new ones.
