Default Recommend height for CBR 600RR?

What's the recommend height to ride this bike? For a good stance and to back up. I'm planning to get one, but I gotta do my research first hahaha.

Thanks!

You should be able to be flat footed at a stop. Some states have laws stating such. Check local regulations on that.

Hard to say. I know one of our members is under 5' and has a 600rr. With lowering links, the right boots and some chicanery with the seat a lot is possible.

But as demon said, you wanna be able to flat-foot at a red light to be safe. Once any bike begins to tip, it takes a lot of muscle to stop it. And leaned over, the bike is not ready to give full power on demand... like if the blind bat behind you "didn't see you there"

i'm 5'5 and ride my cbr fine, i'm not flat footed but i feel comfortable and in control of the bike at red lights. your comfort will have to do more with your inseam or how long your legs are than your overall height

I am 5'2 and I can ride my F4i just fine. No i cannot touch the ground with tippy toes but I just got use to 1 footing it. Backing up is next to impossible or just a really slow process (using 1 foot). I usually just jump off the bike and move it into place or avoid backing up as much as possible.
