Default Thinking about buying 600rr, but my height....

I am thinking about buying a bike, most of my friends have one too. But i am 5 feet 8 inch tall. Am i too short for a cbr 600rr. most of the sports bike is about 32 inch in height. Let me know how tall are you? and are you having any problem?

it doesnt matter how tall the bike is stock just lower it to the height you want it at...ive seen guys tippy toeing at the lights and ive seen guys where there knees arebought on the pegs, its all rider preferance, what makes you a more comfortable rider

I'm 5' 8" and the bike fits me perfectly, i'd only be concerned if this was your first bike.

yeah, being 5'8 you're plenty tall to ride. go sit on a few and see how it feels.

btw, welcome to the forum!

Ok, I'm feeling tiny compared to you giants...

I consider myself a tall 5'6", 600rr, first bike, no problems. I can get both tippy-toes down when stopped (as long as I'm not wearing my race boots cuz of the restricted ankle movement), so you'll be fine. But like everyone else has said, it's all about personal preference and being comfortable. I also consider myself a pretty quick learner when it comes to any kind of physical activity, motor skills, etc. So I can't say it would be the same for you as a first bike, but it's worked out for me.
