Can You Be Too Short to Ride A Motorcycle?

Short people usually tend to be limited to cruiser or sports bikes because of the low seat hight. But if, like me, you want to be able to use your bike anywhere a dual purpose bike is the ticket. So even though I can just about put one toe on the ground when I slide off the seat I’m able to ride around quite happily. 
To get the ground clearance necessary off road these bikes are a lot taller then their road oriented cousins. This extra height is also great in traffic, letting you see over most cars. The downside is, unless you are tall you cannot put both feet on the road and this can be unnerving. But it doesn’t mean you can’t ride them – with a little practice you will be able to handle one better than your not so vertically challenged friends.
